Downbeat

DOWNBEAT
Directed by Danny Madden

Raw, kinetic and driven by the rhythms of the street, DOWNBEAT is a fiercely independent portrait of talent, self-destruction, family and second chances. A troubled drummer crashes with his sister in Boston and rediscovers his passion through performing. As his music soars, his reckless choices threaten both his newfound stability and his closest relationships.
