A road-trip movie driven by good vibrations and the joy of making music, Katherine Propper’s debut feature, Lost Soulz, begins with an aspiring musician named Sol—played with unbothered, introverted charm by rapper Suave Sidle—leaving home for the first time. He joins up with a Brockhampton-esque group of rap-crooners as they head for a gig in El Paso. It’s a long journey, especially for seven people packed into the same van, but they pass the time easily by tooling around with new lyrics, telling stories, and just goofing off.

The sheer number of bodies crammed in the van means that we don’t get to know these Gen-Zers too well. Seven (Aaron Melloul) is a broody troublemaker and Mao (Alexander Brackney) is a wild-haired, good-natured big fella with a sweet set of pipes. Froggy (Micro Tdh) is a versatile Latino rap-singer who slips seamlessly between styles and languages,...

"Music's not worth dying for..." "Then what is?" Kino Lorber has debuted the official trailer for the indie music film titled Lost Soulz, opening in theaters this May to watch. It originally premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival last year, where it was second in line for Audience Award. It later went on to win AFI Grand Jury Prize and the SXSW Jury Award for Vision. Lost Soulz is the feature debut from award-winning filmmaker Katherine Propper. The film is a fictional feature (not a doc though it has that vibe) that follows aspiring rapper Sol as he joins a group of Gen-z musicians on tour across the heart of Texas, embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime road trip. Set to a lo-fi, genre-bending hip-hop soundtrack, Propper's debut is suffused with a hazy & infectious energy and features virtuosic musical performances, from the tour van to the stage, that allow the ensemble's chemistry to shine.

Drama to play Raindance in London later this month.

Kino Lorber has acquired Noth American rights to Katherine Propper’s hip hop-infused Tribeca selection Lost Soulz, which will next play London’s Raindance Film Festival.

Lost Soulz won second place in Tribeca’s audience award and stars Sauve Sidle as an aspiring young rapper who faces life-changing choices when he joins musicians on a road trip through Texas.

First-time feature filmmaker Propper wrote and directed the drama which is based in part on Sidle’s life. The cast includes Siyanda Stillwell, Aaron “Seven” Melloul, Krystall Poppin, Alexander Brackney, Micro Tdh,...

Lost Soulz, the debut feature film by Katherine Propper, is set to premiere June 11th as part of the Tribeca Film Festival. While new to the world of features, Propper has garnered plenty of accolades as a director; her 2022 short film Birds won awards at SXSW and AFI Fest, among others. Street Flame, another short film by Propper about the skate and graffiti community, also helped the director earn attention and began her collaboration with the star of her new hip-hop movie Lost Soulz, Sauve Sidle.

Propper has detailed the beginning of her relationship with Sidle, reporting that he told her he was going to be a famous rapper. Flash-forward to Lost Soulz, and Sidle is portraying Sol, an aspiring rapper who sets off across Texas after befriending a group of gen-z musicians. In addition to the performances and dream-chasing intrinsic to the best movies about music, Lost Soulz focuses...
