Through With Love

“It’s okay – all the best documentaries are made up of footage captured over ten years.”

- John Roderick

Through With Love is a documentary film about The Long Winters, an indie-rock band from Seattle, Washington and their frontman, John Roderick.

He was in a band called the Western State Hurricanes in the late 1990′s, and everything was going so well before it all fell apart in dramatic, public fashion. The band’s break-up during the peak of their popularity was a catalyst for John’s five month walk from Amsterdam to Istanbul. Returning to Seattle bearded and emaciated, he vowed never to play music again.

This film tells a compelling story of self-destruction and resignation, of ambition and second chances, and of burned bridges and taking the long way around.

Filming Through With Love began in November of 2005 as The Long Winters recorded their latest release, Putting the Days to Bed. Originally conceived as a "making of the record" movie, it soon became clear that there was so much more to tell.
