Duet (2017)

Tom, a student at a prestigious music school, has long struggled with stage fright. His crippling inability to perform in front of an audience reaches a climax when he is humiliated in front of his idol, visiting legendary classical pianist Gerard Cornwall. But when Cornwall mysteriously chooses Tom to be his page turner for a prestigious concert the next night, Tom is forced to confront the very thing that has been holding him back. A story of the highs and lows of artistic life and the relationship between mentor and mentee, "Duet" explores a world rarely portrayed on film. Written and directed by an actual classical pianist, it gives a new appreciation for the work and sacrifice that goes into the pursuit of excellence in classical music, from the perspective of someone who has experienced it first-hand.
