Directed by Jamal Sims ; produced by Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Jordan Finnegan ; director of photography, John Orphan ; edited by Felipe Linz ; music by David Benjamin Steinberg.Jordan O'Donegan.Drop into the electric and subversive underground dance scene known as bucking. As voguing exploded out of the ballroom scene of NYC, bucking was boldly pioneered in the clubs of the Deep South as a new form of self-expression. When the Beat Drops presents a fresh glimpse into the magnetic artistry and flair behind this emerging dance culture. In his feature debut, famed choreographer and filmmaker Jamal Sims, who has worked with the likes of Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, and RuPaul's Drag Race, illuminates the warm-hearted and fierce queer black performers who make up one of the leading "bucking" groups in the city of Atlanta. As they train for their biggest competition yet, they face the risk of losing their jobs and family to compete at the top levels of this dance scene.DVD, wide screen.- Subjects: Dance films.; Documentary films.; Feature films.; Nonfiction films.; Dance; Electronic dance music.;

Director of photography, Ruben Woodin Dechamps ; editor, David Charap ; music, Nainita Desai.Jordan O'Donegan, David Mitchell, Jim Fujiwara.Based on the best-selling book by Naoki Higashida, is an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity through the experiences of nonspeaking autistic people from around the world. The film blends Higashida's revelatory insights into autism, written when he was just thirteen, with intimate portraits of five remarkable young people. It opens a window for audiences into an intense and overwhelming, but often joyful, sensory universe. Moments in the lives of each individual are linked by the journey of a young Japanese boy through an epic landscape; narrated passages from Naoki's writing reflect on what his autism means to him and others, how his perception of the world differs, and why he acts in the way he does: the reason he jumps. The film distills these elements into a sensually rich tapestry that leads to Naoki's core message: not being able to speak does not mean there is nothing to say.DVD, NTSC, Region 1 ; widescreen 2.35:1, 16x9 ; Dolby digital 5.1 surround and 20 stereo; described video.- Subjects: Documentary films.; Feature films.; Nonfiction films.; Video recordings for people with visual disabilities.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Higashida, Naoki, 1992-; Autism.; Autistic people.; Autistic people;
