Backstage

At a sold-out concert, young videographer Jack is pulled into the chaotic world of rising underground artist Aaron. As he films the high-energy backstage scene, he witnesses growing tensions between Aaron and his manager, Marcus, over a venue too small for the wild crowd. Despite warnings, Aaron’s ego pushes him to go on with the show, while Jack, eager to capture the spectacle, becomes an unwilling accomplice. The next night, a disturbing video surfaces of fans being crushed, but Aaron dismisses the danger and urges more chaos. As the night spirals out of control, a violent altercation between Aaron and Marcus leaves Jack at a crossroads—follow Aaron onto the stage or face the consequences. As the music swells, Jack’s lens captures a stark reality: ambition and recklessness colliding, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
