Art of a Hit Film Trailer (Film Streaming Aug. 20th)

The musical horror-thriller ART OF A HIT, starring Ryan Donowho (THE O.C.), Charlie Saxton (HBO’s HUNG), Tim Jo (THIS IS US), Rob Raco (RIVERDALE), James Earl (Hulu’s WHITE MEN CAN’T JUMP), Allie MacDonald (WHAT/IF), and David Valdes (LAST THE NIGHT).

Directed by Gaelan Draper, the film was co-written and produced by Saxton and Draper, and features an original soundtrack with music by indie rock band Jets to Brazil. Giant Pictures plans to release ART OF A HIT on streaming platforms August 20th, 2024.

In the film, Ryan, the lead singer of a late-90s rock band is haunted by irrelevance and struggling to regain visibility a decade after the band’s prime. Charlie Dupont, an eccentric super-producer, invites the band to his 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.

“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 shared.

"We are thrilled to be bringing the film to audiences across North America later this year,” stated Giant Pictures’ Rel Klein.

Rel Klein of Giant Pictures negotiated the deal with Saxton and Draper of Dewey and Bug.
