Speed Cinema Presents: May It Last: A Portrait of the Avett Brothers
Tuesday, September 12, 7:00 pm
Speed Art Museum Cinema
Directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio
Filmed with extraordinary access over more than two years, May It Last: A Portrait of the Avett Brothers is a deeply intimate and revealing look at the Grammy Award-nominated North Carolina band fronted by Seth and Scott Avett.
Directors Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio chart the Avett Brothers' decade-and-a-half rise, while chronicling their 2016 collaboration with famed producer Rick Rubin on the critically-acclaimed album “True Sadness.” Using the recording process as a backdrop, the film depicts a lifelong creative partnership put to the test as band members undergo marriage, divorce, parenthood, illness, and the challenges of the music business. More than just a concert documentary, May It Last is a meditation on family, love, and the passage of time. Winner of the SXSW 2017 24 Beats a Second Audience Award. 2017, U.S., DCP, 104 minutes.
