Drive Well, Sleep Carefully(2005)

Drive Well, Sleep Carefully is a documentary that follows Death Cab for Cutie across North America during their spring 2004 tour. Filmmaker Justin Mitchell captured dozens of live performances and sat down with the Seattle indie rock band in their hometown to discuss their creative process and the realities of touring. Shot on 16mm film, the documentary weaves together raw concert footage with intimate interviews that reveal the band's work ethic and the toll of life on the road. The film offers an unfiltered look at what it takes to sustain a career in music during the early 2000s indie rock boom.
