A gritty vérité story of young, hungry and super-talented musicians struggling to find the promised land of a record deal - without selling out.
'Brass Tacks' is a 35mm vérité feature length, narrative drama. The story captures the dilemma of gifted musicians turning music into a professional career without losing artistic integrity and soul. Shot on location in Atlanta, a group of young, hungry and diversely talented performers struggles to find the Promised Land of a record deal. Grueling days of blue-collar construction work fund their nocturnal pursuit of becoming full-time musicians.
