Release Date: Jan 17, 2025 | Limited

The Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre formed on the same West Coast scene in the 1990s, bound by a shared vision of a rock revolution that would take back music from the industry. One band signed to a major label and found a foothold. The other imploded repeatedly, brilliantly, and publicly. This documentary spent nearly a decade capturing what happened, and twenty years later, it has been rebuilt with new footage and a new voice from inside the storm. A film about art, commerce, and the price of being impossible.

Plot Summary

DIG! XX is a 2025 expanded anniversary documentary directed by Ondi Timoner and co-directed by David Timoner. It is the 20th anniversary extended edition of the original 2004 documentary DIG!, featuring over 40 minutes of never-before-seen footage and a new narration by Brian Jonestown Massacre member Joel Gion, which runs alongside the original narration by Dandy Warhols frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor. The film traces the collision of art and commerce through the friendship and rivalry of the two bands, from their shared origins through gigs, arrests, and their contrasting shots at the mainstream. The original film was shot over nearly a decade between 1995 and 2003. The original DIG! won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, making Timoner the only filmmaker to win the prize twice. DIG! XX premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and had a one-night UK cinema event on March 25, 2025, followed by a limited UK release from March 28, distributed by Dogwoof. US release followed via the IFC Center in New York. Core themes include artistic vision, commercial pressure, rivalry, self-destruction, and the music industry. The film is for music fans and audiences interested in the intersection of creative ambition and the business of art.
