Sundance 2020-Coming of Age: Beast Beast director Danny Madden, DP Kristian Zuniga; Blast Beat director Esteban Arango, writer Erick Castrillon

Sundance 2020 Special Part 3: Coming of Age Beast Beast explores
the lives of three different teens who cross paths with tragic
results. Director Danny Madden handles each character with sympathy
and nuance. He and cinematographer Kristian Zuniga used different
camera looks for each character, staying wide and documentary-style
for some sequences and tight and controlled for others. The film
came to the attention of Alec Baldwin who came on board as an an
executive producer who helped fund its development into a feature.
Blast Beat is about two teen metalhead brothers from Colombia,
uprooted from their lives in Bogota and struggling to find their
place in suburban America. Director Esteban Arango and writer Erick
Castrillon cast real life brothers Moises and Matéo Arias, who
brought an added layer of authenticity to their characters'
relationship. It was also important to Arango and Castrillon to
make a personal movie about their own culture, and they cast
Colombian actors who spoke Spanish with authentic accents in the
movie. Find out even more about this episode, with extensive show
