`Brass Tacks` is a 35mm vérité feature length, narrative drama. The story captures the dilemma of gifted musicians turning music into a professional career without losing artistic integrity and soul. Shot on location in Atlanta, a group of young, hungry and diversely talented performers struggles to find the Promised Land of a record deal. Grueling days of blue-collar construction work fund their nocturnal pursuit of becoming full-time musicians. Confronted with the reality that Jazz has limited commercial appeal, the story focuses on the band`s battles with the music industry and one another to find respect and recognition without `selling out`.
