DEVILSKIN - START A REVOLUTION - [Music Video] - Behind The Scenes

START A REVOLUTION

BUY on iTunes HERE!!!

First i want to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to DEVILSKIN, Our Crew, All businesses involved and NZ On Air for making this music video a reality.

NZ On Air did an awesome showcase of the band on their website as well:

We shot the video during the weekend of 12th & 13th of April 2014. Few weeks later thanks to our editor Kerri Roffio, our vfx team Liam Williams and Steve Haynes and the awesome color grader Alana Cotton from Images and Sound and on the 3rd of May we released the video to the world. It wasn't easy to pull it off with limited funds and time, but thanks to our awesome crew we did it and looks bloody awesome. 

The Band members are charging up for their up and coming NZ Tour and album release titled "WE RISE"


The Rock FM have done some awesome showcase of the band on their website:

Now the video is screening on NZ TV Channels such as Juice TV and C4. Also we have started submitting Start A Revolution to international film festivals world wide so stay tuned for more info by clicking HERE.

DISTRIBUTION DEALS & STUFF UPDATE 2013


Yaaaay...After almost two years of festivals with my shorts I just received the signed distribution deals contracts with two world wide distributors for all my 5 shorts we have completed in the last 3 years. I guess later this year we will find exactly where the films will be distributed and when they will screen. Also we have two distributors who signed up my shorts so thats double the good news..I will try to find all the info about where and when the shorts will air..

Here are the Trailers for some of my Shorts:

My other Music Video for Devilskin( Little Pills) is on NZ Music TV Channel FOUR:



At the moment i have a task to complete my first feature film ARA and lucky enough to have lots of talented and passionate like minded artists,cast and crew helping and pushing forward..Help us and be part of ARA - Sci Fi Thriller and join us on this journey of making it happen..I want to achieve the same what i did with the shorts. I want to make it worth while for cast and crew and at least get the film in front of wider audience and through festivals. My primary goal is to showcase our work in festivals and distribute it world wide..The rest is just a bonus if we get anything on top of that. Helping ARA you are helping over 70 people who are working in their spare time and after hours helping with the production.
