The movie “follows a rock band who saw soaring heights of success in the late 90s but are now haunted by irrelevance. Struggling to regain visibility a decade after the band’s prime, lead singer Ryan (Ryan Donowho) accepts eccentric super producer Charlie Dupont (Charlie Saxton)’s invite for the band to join him in a 1000-year-old French chateau to record a comeback album. But as tensions rise and tempers flare, Ryan and his bandmates realize they’re up against more than just the pressure to succeed,” reads the film’s official synopsis.
“Art of a Hit takes everything we love about the late ‘90s and early 2000s rock scene and jams it into a wildly creepy castle in the most beautiful place on earth: Dordogne, France. It’s funny, scary, messed up and honest—a story about what it’s like to be in a band and the insane fears of trying to make it as an artist. If you love late 90s rock, if you loved being in a band, you will love Art of a Hit,” Draper and Saxton said on the project.
