HBO has announced its original Counting Crows documentary, Have You Seen Me Lately?, will debut on December 18 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.
Music Box: Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately?, part of the new installment of the Music Box series created by Bill Simmons, is directed by Amy Scott.
The intimate documentary chronicles the rise of Counting Crows and the unrelenting pressure that followed their breakout success. Centered on frontman Adam Duritz, the film explores the emotional aftermath of the band's landmark studio album debut August and Everything After and the pressures and creative process of making their follow-up album, Recovering the Satellites.
Catapulted into fame by the massive hit "Mr. Jones" — a song about longing to be seen — Duritz quickly discovers that recognition comes with intense challenges. As the band becomes a household name, he finds himself caught between the loss of anonymity and a deepening desire to create something that still feels personal and true, while navigating his own personal battles with mental health challenges. While trying to regain his footing, Duritz channels his inner conflict into a second album that's raw, urgent, and unapologetically honest.
Told through candid interviews with present and former bandmembers and music contemporaries, and illustrated with rare archival footage and personal photographs, Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately? captures not only the making of a pivotal record, but also the emotional toll of overnight fame and the high-wire act of maintaining artistic integrity in the spotlight.
Counting Crows band members Duritz, David Bryson, Charlie Gillingham, David Immerglück, Matt Malley, and Dan Vickrey are featured in the documentary.
