LOGLINE
Against all odds, a skinny gym cleaner born with a life-threatening heart defect and living with an ICD, transforms his body and risks everything to compete in the ultimate elimination fitness competition: BPL
STORY
The story is inspired by a close friend of mine who was born with a rare heart condition and always said he’d love to go to the gym with me, but it was just too dangerous because of his arrhythmia. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago, and the thought of him wanting to train his whole life stayed with me. That “what if?” is what drives the film.
Beats Per Limit will be the first film to capture a real physical transformation onscreen in one film. No VFX. No filters. Just real change on screen.
However, Beats Per Limit is more than just a film. It isn’t something you watch. It’s a story that lives beyond the screen. The BPL competition featured in the film is being brought to life as a real-world fitness event.
