Get to know the filmmaker;
What motivated you to make this film?
I wanted to spotlight female drummers—many of whom are breast cancer survivors—who lift each other up through rhythm and resilience. Their stories deserved a stage, and I wanted to give them one.
From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?
Just under a year. It’s a sequel to my 2019 film, building on that foundation with a new chapter, new faces, and a deeper focus on community.
How would you describe your film in two words!?
Bold. Uplifting.
4. What was the biggest obstacle you faced in completing this film?
Staying true to a tight indie budget.
