Watch the Trailer for "Heart Failure," the First-Ever EDM Musical
In some kind of raunchy, techno-fueled twist on West Side Story, the first-ever EDM musical is primed for the silver screen.
"We were bored, angry, horny students watching the best years of our lives slip away, so we were just like, f**k it, let’s make a musical," said Will Wightman, who wrote and directed Heart Failure, an upcoming short film produced by award-winning independent video production company Cool Bean.
According to a press release shared with EDM.com, Heart Failure, which features an original soundtrack comprising electronic dance music, is the first of its kind. The film follows Frank, whose rollicking, hysterical one-night stand with Lizzie leads to a complex relationship and eventual breakup.
