ONE MAN'S TRASH IS ANOTHER MAN'S DRUM KIT.

Fleeing mistakes in Atlanta, Mauro crashes on his sister's couch in Boston. He takes to bucket drumming on the streets for a way out, but can't stop screwing things up and drawing everyone else into his own feral shortcomings.

A raw, revelatory character study in the tradition of "Sound of Metal" and "Whiplash," world premiering at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival. A defiantly independent production, crowd-funded via Kickstarter and shot entirely on a single camcorder, with a cast made up largely of real musicians and every note of bucket drumming recorded live.

Languages: English. English closed captions available.

Rental unlocks extra content, including an exclusive conversation about "Downbeat" between director Danny Madden and frequent creative collaborator Jim Cummings, Madden's visceral 2020 Sundance feature "Beast Beast", and three of his award-winning short films.
