It’s the weekend, first in June; speaker’s blasting out big tune! Cousins, aunties, uncles, friends, pack the house and fun begins.

Will this stop his family’s fun? Can Shane come through to save the day and bring back Big Tune Saturday? Set a vibrant Caribbean-American neighborhood and told to a rhythmic beat, Big Tune is a story of Black-boy joy that touches on determination, the confidence to express who you are, selflessness, and community gratitude.
