Katherine Propper's debut feature film, Lost Soulz, is set to make its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 11th. While a newcomer to the world of features, Propper has already made a name for herself as a director, having received numerous awards for her 2022 short film Birds at festivals such as SXSW and AFI Fest. Her previous short film, Street Flame, which delves into the skate and graffiti community, also helped establish her relationship with Sauve Sidle, the star of Lost Soulz and a rising hip-hop artist.
Propper recalls how Sidle had confided in her about his aspirations to become a famous rapper, and now, in Lost Soulz, he portrays Sol, an up-and-coming musician who embarks on a journey across Texas with a group of gen-Z musicians. Along with showcasing the performances and dreams of musicians, Lost Soulz also explores the complexities of relationships as Sol leaves behind a sick friend and a surrogate family. In anticipation of the film's premiere, Screen Rant is thrilled to offer a sneak peek of Lost Soulz with an exclusive clip.
How Lost Soulz Lets Real-Life Musicians Shine Through Their Characters
Lost Soulz brings a sense of realism to its storyline through the authentic and natural performances of its lead cast, as demonstrated in the clip above.
