“Adam took all this angst and transcended it through music.” HBO has revealed the official trailer for the rock doc music film Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately?, ready to watch streaming later in December before the end of this year. It’s the next offering in HBO’s Music Box series (also with Wizkid: Long Live Lagos this year). After their debut album’s success back in 1993, Counting Crows and singer Adam Duritz became global rockstars. Through interviews and 90s footage, we see how they navigated sudden fame while staying true to their art. “See the rise. Feel the pressure.” 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 while living in the spotlight. It’s a portrait of creative defiance and the tension between visibility & vulnerability. This seems like a deeply honest, comprehensive story about the good & bad of rock star fame.

Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately? is an intimate documentary chronicling the rise of the band Counting Crows and the unrelenting pressure following their breakout success. Centered on frontman Adam Duritz, the film explores the emotional aftermath of their landmark studio album debut “August and Everything After” and the pressures and creative process of making their follow-up “Recovering the Satellites.” Catapulted into fame by massive hit “Mr. Jones”, a song about longing to be seen, he 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 & true, while navigating his own personal battles with mental health challenges. While trying to regain his footing, Duritz channels his inner conflict into their second album that’s raw, urgent and honest.
