Hollywood, CA – Vision Films and Leonian Pictures are proud to present the spectacular, fun and inspirational new teen dance hit, To The Beat! In her directorial debut, Jillian Clare (Days of our Lives, Victorious: Freak the Freak Out) has created the perfect film for the teens of this generation who dare to take their dreams to the next level.
Starring Laura Krystine, Brisa Lalich, Jayden Bartels, Jake Brennan, Jaheem Toombs and Trevor Larcom, To The Beat! was released on DVD and VOD on Tuesday, March 13 2018.
Fourteen-year-old twins Mackie (Laura Krystine) and Mia Castillo (Brisa Lalich) have been dancing since they were toddlers. They support each other’s passion through competitions and rehearsals, even though they prefer different styles: Mia loves tap and Mackie loves jazz. When their favorite pop star (Chris Trousdale) launches an online contest to find the most unique dancers for his new music video, the twins each form their own team to compete. With the help of their family and friends, Pauly (Jaheem Toombs) and Doug (Trevor Larcom), they campaign for the most votes on social media. Meanwhile, their arch-rival and neighbor Avery, (Jayden Bartels), uses her charm and resources to gain the upper hand in the competition.
To The Beat! is on Digital for an SRP $4.99 – $9.99 Rent or Buy across all platforms and to Buy on DVD for $14.95.
“We couldn’t have had a better leader than Jillian as the director”, says producer Susan Bernhardt . “As her mother, I’ve watched her in show business for nearly 19 years and witnessed her dedication growing up as an actor. I knew she would be the perfect person to direct a teen driven film – I’ve very proud of our entire team and am excited about the future of To The Beat! ” Director Jillian Clare says of her debut feature film,”This film means the world to me and I’m so proud of everyone involved. I hope that kids enjoy watching it and maybe even learn a thing or two about kindness and supporting their friends and family!”
Managing director and CEO of Vision Films Lise Romanoff says, “The film captures the innocence and energy of other high school competition classics. We’re thrilled to offer this upbeat film to young audiences and dance lovers across the country”.
