Downbeat
2018 / USA / 55 Minutes / Michael Schaubach
Film Synopsis
From College Humor and Adaptive Studios each eight to fifteen-minute episode of the mockumentary series will capture a slice of life for a different well-intentioned, yet often misguided, individual (or group of individuals) hoping to find success and respect in the music business. From a thirty-five-year-old cruise ship diva who hoped for something more, to a tech whiz who’s created a truly awful personalized music app, to a pretentious children’s singer-songwriter frustrated that audiences “miss” the depth behind her seemingly simple lyrics, Downbeat reveals the heartbreaking and hilarious truths these deluded characters refuse to recognize.
