Frank (Nick Offerman) is a single dad who spends his days working at his record store while stubbornly clinging to his daughter, Sam (Kiersey Clemons), a high school senior preparing to leave the family nest for college. Seeking one last chance for some father- daughter bonding, Frank convinces Sam to record some music with him. But with summer coming to an end, the record store’s lease expiring despite the protestations
of his kindly landlord Leslie (Toni Collette), and a hit song unexpectedly climbing up the streaming music charts, Frank’s world suddenly becomes more complicated than ever. Brett Haley’s HEARTS BEAT LOUD is a charming, luminous exploration of the bittersweet joys of family, romance, and the ties that bind us.

Q&A with director Brett Haley and Nick Offerman to follow.
