Breaking a Monster, A Documentary About the Stratospheric Rise of a Brooklyn Teenage Metal Trio
Breaking a Monster is a documentary about Unlocking The Truth (UTT), the incredible teenage metal trio from Brooklyn who busked around Time Square for a while before they seemingly became rock stars overnight.
BREAKING A MONSTER begins as the three members of band UNLOCKING THE TRUTH are all in 7th grade, spending their weekends playing a blend of heavy metal and speed punk in Times Square – often drawing substantial crowds. They take on a manager: a 70- year-old industry veteran. With his guidance they are soon on their way to a 1.8 million dollar record deal and a precarious initiation into the music industry.
