Fallout 76 (Live Action Concept Trailer)
Directed by Brian Curtin
“The Charlie Rich song was a godsend. It’s incredibly hard to license true vintage music that sounds this good. It’s not an official song you would hear on the Fallout radio station, but it does have a lot of the same qualities. It’s a great juxtaposition of vintage sound against post-apocalyptic visuals. I also thought the lyrics “Who will the next fool be” was fitting for the impending doom of our brave wanderers.” — Brian Curtin

Amazon Studios | Jack Ryan Premiere at The USO*
Directed by Jon Cruz
Produced by Julia Johnson
“Since this piece was for the Amazon Studios show Jack Ryan and it was promoting the US armed services, I tried to use music that reminded me of some of my favorite military, espionage and action films/video games growing up, like Michael Bay’s The Rock and Konami’s Metal Gear Solid franchise. It’s that pulsing, relentless, epic sounding dramatic action that I think these artists have all captured really well in their music. Building percussion, swelling horns. It’s just got that bad ass ‘sh*t’s about to go down, prepare for battle’ energy!” — Jon Cruz

KONA Bicycles | Self Portrait
Directed by Louis Citadelle
“Having to manage my energy levels to still be able to ride my bike as best I could while getting all the angles, I had in mind was easily the biggest challenge I faced in this project. Being a self-shot film, I had to carry all my camera gear and bike to get to the location by myself, and then had to do countless trips running up and down to set the camera, change lens, record, etc… It’s a very tedious and repetitive process, but more importantly it’s the amount of time and energy it takes that can be very challenging.” — Louis Citadelle

One Lost Many Found*
Directed by Troy Bedenbaugh
“Dreamers by Tim Mann provided the perfect nostalgic/dreamy feeling the helped separate the present from the past when I began to dive into introduce my dad’s past as a surfboard shaper.
House by Marta Cascales Alimbau is a song I used right after explaining to the viewer how my dad passed away. I knew in that moment I didn’t want to overpower the viewer with emotion, and “House” allowed the viewer to really sit in a moment of somber reflection.” – Troy Bedenbaugh

Feathers Go Hard
Directed by Jon Stamm
“Imagining this concept was one thing but bringing it to life was another. Even after we were satisfied with the voiceover, it was challenging to find the perfect combination of visuals, music, and pacing necessary for the joke to land. In the end, we approached it like an ad (as if feathers were the product), and drew inspiration from various commercials for Ford Trucks, perfumes, and the US Marine Corps.” – Jon Stamm

Official Selections: Wedding
BRITTANY + CHRIS – Teaser*
Russell Kent Nicholls
“This wedding was an explosion of the senses, and I felt that my usual go-to of uplifting pop wouldn’t do this energy packed wedding justice. After filtering to Cinematic Pop and sampling the song out of curiosity – I was instantly hooked by its suspense, dramatic breaks and build. It’s totally out of the ordinary for me – much like the entertainment of this wedding – which included firebreathers, dance troupes, showstopping light displays and the *actual* Jason Derulo as a surprise performer. The strings, punches and electronic FX instantly transported me back to the energy of dancefloor. I wanted the teaser trailer to feel like an ad for a feature film and the pacing and drama of this song absolutely delivered!” – Russell Kent Nicholls

“Sugar” had the perfect energy and drive to match Jillian and Marty’s personalities. In addition, Marty is a musician, so we knew we had to find a song that fit the couple and was well-written and produced.”
