An insightful look at the making of a single EDM track - ****

A gritty look at today's 20-something generation growing into a world of quick-single-night successes that promises no realization of any dream.  This film takes on the look that is edgy and dry as it struggles to look for its own rhythm.

It's about  a DJ's discovery of his original sound that will break him into the mainstream club scene in Hollywood.  This discovery is directly aided by an established DJ who takes him in as a protege.  He learns to channel his experiences, his daily life and his struggles to find that organic sound that will set his music apart from the often sampled EDM tracks of today's club scene.

The film moves to an erratic rhythm, but stays too long on the slow side. It excites, it breaks, it dies and somehow it struggles to pick up at every turning point of the story.  But this may be the film's idea of 'telling it like it is', since it follows the relationship of 4 friends who are struggling with their own idea of existence.  At some point the story seems to be going no where, but that matches the characters who are at inert and confused.  At times it becomes exciting as the characters throw themselves in danger for being naive.

The film dares to ask the young people to give more consideration to their future while enjoying their youth and to use  their experiences to move forward.  Though it gives you a long story to produce just one track of music, the end product is remarkable, thus making this as the film to watch this week.
