Filmmaker attending screening for Q&A via Skype
A few years ago, videos of three young African-American boys from Brooklyn performing raucous heavy metal music in Times Square went viral, with some clips garnering over a million views, making the young musicians social media sensations. Managers, agents and record companies soon came calling. Luke Meyer's documentary picks up just before Sony Records offers an astonishing $1.8 million contract. The film follows the fledgling band Unlocking the Truth as they confront the complex and sometimes harsh realities behind the dream of "making it." The boys struggle not only with the adult demands their new fame brings, but also with the pressures any teenagers face. As frontman Malcolm Brickhouse says at one point, "I'm too young for responsibility."
Please note there are two screenings of this film, please be sure to select the correct date & time.
