Blast Beat
Two young brothers (played by real-life brothers, Moises and Mateo Arias) from Colombia struggle to fit into their new lives in suburban America.
On the cusp of the year 2000, Colombian brothers Carly (Mateo Arias) and Mateo (Moises Arias) prepare to move to the United States for their last years of high school. Metalhead Carly has his heart set on attending the Georgia Aerospace Institute and working for NASA, while his supportive parents (Diane Guerrero and Wilmer Valderrama) seize the chance to escape the political turmoil in Colombia and chase the American Dream. At first, Mateo is the only one to express any cynicism, but when the reality of their new life sinks in, the family struggles to adapt as their expectations are shattered. When events threaten to derail their future, Carly’s dream becomes his only lifeline.
”’Blast Beat’ is a showcase for the Arias brothers. … Together, they look like opposites, … but their brotherly bond shines through whether the Restrepo siblings are fighting or helping each other out.” - Sean P. Means, The Movie Cricket
