The short documentary Concrete Royalty profiles Joseph Wilson, a determined 16-year-old snare drummer in Brooklyn United Marching Band. The black-and-white film is fast-paced and inspiring, capturing the band’s energy as they dance and move to the music. “Drumming gives me a sense of accomplishment,” Wilson says. “I don't know where that's going to take me, but I know it's going to take me far.”
