Beat Makers
Directed by: Laron Austin - 90 min. - USA

BeatMakers, documents the never ending hustle of up-and-coming as well as seasoned producers. Filmed inside their home studios, these hungry musicians aspire to obtain more equipment, sell their hot tracks, and, of course, make a name for themselves in the competitive music industry. The film follows a plethora of track masters in various stages of their careers including newcomer Justin J Dot Moyd, a 23 year-old college student who nears graduation, as he assembles his production center, works with aspiring recording artists and puts together his first professional demo package. We also see a group of savvy producers, called 'Battery Five', combine their collective efforts, and discuss their trials and tribulations. We witness their relentless pursuit to create a "movement" and be recognized in such a tumultuous business. The film provides a behind-the-scenes forum for composers to get a lot off their chests and discuss their unbridled passion for making music all with a steadfast belief that the 'next' track will be the one to take them to the next level!
