    Ep. 2: David Valdes (David) 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.

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.
