Friday Night Movie By @pancake4table

Writer/director Danny Madden joins stars and co-writers Daniel Rashid, Addie Weyrich, and Arkira Chantaratananond to talk Downbeat, a "broke-wave" film about a lost soul that turns to bucket drumming and his younger sister to heal and find connection. The team digs into their collective improv that built the film's story, the central tension between pursuing art and commercializing it, and how Addie and Daniel's sibling-like bond on set unlocked one of the most heartbreaking and organic fight scenes of the festival. Plus: a cast that's almost 100% musicians, why every note of bucket drumming was recorded live, and what it means to fight for your sibling bonds and be the one who breaks the cycle of dysfunction.
