Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The short film was directed by Mike Mills, who also made 'Beginners' and '20th Century Women'—he and Berninger became friends after a chance meeting at a Los Angeles screening.
This project marked The National's pivot from insular rock band to collaborative ensemble, foreshadowing Aaron Dessner's later work with Taylor Swift on 'folklore' and 'evermore'.
