This has been in release for a while but I never did a thread because I've only recently become fairly active here.

It's a feature documentary that I produced called Beat Makers. It follows up-and-coming music producers.

The trailer can be seen here:
http://www.doctrailers.com/media/103/BeatMakers/
and at IMDB
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210032/

It is available at many Online distribution points including Jaman, and others.

As well as B-Side:
http://www.bside.com/films/beatmakers (first few minutes available here)
and of course Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/BeatMakers/dp/B00164ZSN8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1228510400&sr=1-1

The film was shot in the producer's in-home studios.

So, please check it out.

A quick question about ettiquette. I have several projects that I'd like to feature here so do I make a separate page for each project? It seems like that is the way to go but wanted to be sure.

Thanks.

Thanks. We're still working hard on getting more distribution outlets but are happy that it is available in so many thus far.

Many of the producers are getting closer to their dreams of making music in the Big Time, so we're so pleased with their success and being able to catch them on the rise.

It's definitely a niche, but if you know anyone who aspires to make music, let them know about it as it will certainly be of interest to them.

Thanks for the comment and good luck with your project.

Reel One Entertainment is attempting to enlist all independent internet media outlets that cover film topics to consider their documentary feature “Beat Makers” for review. “Beat Makers” is currently available at many web-based Video On Demand outlets such as Itunes, Bside, and other popular sites.

“Beat Makers” takes a look at the never-ending hustle of young producers trying to make it in the intensely competitive music business. The film taps into trackmasters at various stages of their careers, as they struggle to make (and keep) a name for themselves.”It's a cool window into the birth of the beats that get our heads bobbing.” – Bside.com

Producer Eddie Singleton hopes that independent media outlets will take notice of their small documentary despite having very little marketing budget to promote the film, “We want to make people aware of this documentary that is out there and available, however, we don’t have the kind of funding to finance a traditional marketing blitz. We hope that indie film sites will take the time to consider and review a true indie film.”


Directed by Laron Austin whose short film “B.A.M.” won audience awards and other accolades in 2008 on the festival circuit, the film covers an unhearalded segment of the Hip-Hop community.

Reel One Entertainment will be exclusively sending emails to any internet site they can identify that covers indie films with a link that will allow staff on the site to view the movie in High Quality HD stream. “We can’t afford to send hundreds of screeners, so we hope they plug into the new way that the audience is viewing independent content,” says Producer Martin Kelley.

“Beat Makers” can be viewed at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06YSdiMh6QE in its entirety.

“We hope that many sites will be sympathetic to the plight of true indie filmmakers and give this movie some attention so that the audience will know that it is out there for them,” says Producer Eddie Singleton.

Also of Note, the trailer for "Battle" will be screening at many of the films at the festival during this month's Independent Film Month Celebration festivals. So if you go to other screenings be sure to look out for the 'Battle' trailer as well.

Not sure if I ever directed anyone to SNAG to watch it for free (or play it in the background for free, it all helps awareness)

http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/beat_makers/

All the HULU plays and other places like this are sparking discussion of a follow-up.

Obviously, this is a niche type documentary and we'll be soliciting feedback from music oriented sites as well but if dvxusers could provide some feedback too as to what works or what they'd like to see in an updated doc would be valued.

Thanks to anyone who's watched Beat Makers on any of these sites...although it's free to do, I know it takes some time and attention, so I really appreciate anyone who's given us those commodities.
