In this coming-of-age drama, a reclusive teenage musical prodigy (Khalil Everage) forms an unlikely friendship with a down-on-his-luck high school security guard (Anthony Anderson).
United by their mutual love of hip hop, they try to free each other from the demons of their past and break into the cityâs music scene. Directed by Chris Robinson (ATL, âThe New Edition Storyâ), BEATS features Everage in his feature film debut and co-stars Uzo Aduba and Emayatzy Corinealdi.
BEATS is the ultimate ode to Chicagoâs South Side, and its long history of creating music that forms the cityâs beating heart.
