about the film

Synopsis

"BeatMakers" a 90 minute independent documentary, charts the never ending hustle of up and coming as well as seasoned producers.

Filmed inside their in home studios, these hungry musicians aspire to obtain more equipment, sell their hot tracks, and, of course, make a name for themselves in the competitive music industry.

The movie follows a plethora of track masters in various stages of their careers including newcomer Justin "J Dot" Moyd, a 23 year college student who nears graduation, as he assembles his production center, works with aspiring recording artists and puts together his first professional demo package.

We also see a group of savvy producers combine their collective efforts called 'Battery Five' discuss their trials and tribulations and their relentless pursuit to create a "movement" and be recognized in such a tumultuous business.

The film provides a behind the scenes forum for composers to get a lot off their chests and discuss their unbridled passion for making music all with a steadfast belief that the 'next' track will be the one to take them to the 'next' level!

This is truly a great video and an inspiring video at the same time. Right after I watched the 9-10min clip, I made myself a fresh new beat and just went to town. I recommend this video to everyone, and I hope to one day be able to see this video on the big screen. Dolla dolla bills y'all! DJ Legend and I'm out!

This movie is so underrated but I challenge ALL CRITICS and ALL REAL HIP HOP HEADS to watch it and not leave satisfied that HIP HOP IS ALIVE! This movie captures so much truth beyond belief of these talented young producers and their artists and I wish the best to the director, the cast, and any one who feels inspired. 5 Mics.

This is one of the best hip hop documentary of our time. I have seen documentaries like Beat Kings which did not really talk about the essence and art of producing. Beatmakers explore every aspect from the programs used to make a beat and the disappointments of life. Beatmakers in my opinion is 10 times better than beat kings or any other documentary. If you really love hip hop this movies like scratch 5 sides of a coin you will really enjoy this movie.
