I'm very excited to be working with writer/director Marshall Burnette on this project. After composing a few pieces for a short film of Marshall's I knew right away that he was the director and visionary I wanted to work with on this video. So here we are!

Working independent of any record label or creative corral can be discouraging because the result of ZERO funding typically equals ZERO product, but this is where YOU can help! We're asking YOU to be the Producer on the video. Drop a few dollars in our hat and we can see our creative goal to it's end. Watch this short video to get a glimpse into our vision and learn more about how you can play a greater role than just aiding us financially. We've got location scouts, equipment, story boards, and actors - now we just need your gracious funding!

-The Kernal

I worked with The Kernal in early 2010 on a short film called "Ugly" shot in Vancouver, BC. The project was all about setting an atmosphere, which never would have happened without his input and musical ideas. I met The Kernal through a good friend in Nashville. He played me a song called "June and God" that gave me chills. As a film director I often listen to music to experience a sort of visual inspiration. No matter what's playing, it becomes the score of whatever I am experiencing at the moment. When The Kernal is on, and I close my eye's, the images are, well, inspiring! I knew I needed to work with him in collaboration on a video project! The Kernal tells stories... stories that make you think, feel, breath, laugh, and cry. Stories that matter to me. Stories that I want people to experience.

Together, we have prepared a story that, I believe, should be told. The heart of the story comes from our frustration with the corporate climate we, as world citizens, are forced to be part of. The Capitalist system we have become so use to makes us feel not only trapped, but somewhat helpless. Luckily, we still smile, laugh, and love. That's what this project is all about! We have to buy into the system enough to see tomorrows light, but we certainly aren't under "Mind Control" just yet! It's an ironic world we live it... ugly and beautiful all at the same time.

Help us create a music video that will make the world smile! That will make people find the joy in suffering. We have the equipment and crew to produce a beautiful set of moving pictures to support The Kernal's song "Mind Control". With a week of production in mind, and a location slightly out of our financial reach, we hope to raise a minimum of $5000. This should give us the funds we need to create a powerful experience for our audience, a visually stunning movie, and support all the helping hands and hard work the crew is so graciously willing to invest.

Thank you!
