About Documentary
This is a film about The Black Keys traces Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney's journey from a jamming session in a basement in Akron, Ohio, to rock ’n’ roll super-stardom. They barely knew each other when they made their first recordings, yet quickly realized they shared a powerful musical connection and a drive to succeed. Touring relentlessly for ten years, the duo navigated the highs and lows of life on the road, finally reaching escape velocity with their hit records Brothers and El Camino. As so many forces have threatened to pull them apart, the band has managed to stick together. 24 years later, they’re tighter than ever, still making great music and still asking what’s next.
About Sound Unseen
In the fall of 1999, Sound Unseen introduced itself as a unique, cutting edge “films-on-music” festival in Minneapolis. It has since established itself as one of the premier niche festivals in the country, but more importantly as a vital part of the regional cultural scene. Now in its 23rd year, the festival has expanded to include year-round programming, unique pop-up events, and special screenings including world and regional premieres. In 2021 they are also expanding to include live in person screenings in Austin, Texas.
Named “One of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals In The World” in 2016 and 2019 & “One of 20 Great Film Festivals for First-Time Moviemakers” in 2022 by MovieMaker Magazine, the “Best Winter Film Festival” by the Star Tribune 2012, and the “Best of the Fests 2010” from Mpls/St Paul Magazine, Sound Unseen continues its tenure as the region’s premier films-on-music festival. While bringing the best in documentaries, short films, and music videos it also showcases rare concert footage, interactive panels, and live music events. As part of its year-round presence, Sound Unseen offers a successful monthly screening series and special events throughout the Twin Cities. This diversity in content is one of the things that separates Sound Unseen from the typical outdoor mega concerts and film festivals.
Sound Unseen has received press coverage in local Minneapolis and Austin media outlets including The Star Tribune, Pioneer Press, City Pages, The Austin Chronicle, and Secrets of the City; radio stations The Current, KQRS, MPR, Radio K, KUTX, and KFAI and television news including NBC, FOX, and CBS. National media mentions have included Rolling Stone, Paste Magazine, and USA Today.
