Holding These Moments (2020): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2020, Holding These Moments is a music and documentary film directed by Dan Elswick, running about 110 minutes. “These words. These miles. These moments.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. In early 2016, Dan Elswick embarked to document BANE’s final US tour. Starting as a love letter to his favorite band, it turned into much more. Beginning at a time when hardcore music strayed from its punk roots, BANE musically and lyrically challenged people. Five individuals set a course to live and play music by their own rules. After two decades attracting fans with their honesty as people and musicians, the pressure of home life and self-doubt became unavoidable. BANE made an all-or-nothing decision to end the band with a final album and tour. Holding These Moments examines the challenges of living and creating art on your own terms. It explores the artist’s struggle: questioning relevance and living a life of meaning amidst one’s art. Through extensive band, fan, and friend interviews, we see firsthand the impact of people living less ordinarily.

Who’s in it. Holding These Moments stars Zach Jordan as Self, Nicholas Branigan as Self, Brendan Stu Maguire as Self and Peter Chilton as Self, among others.

Where to watch. In US you can rent or buy it from Apple TV Store, Google Play Movies, YouTube and Fandango At Home. See the full, country-by-country breakdown on our where to watch Holding These Moments page.
