Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

THE DARKNESS just released a brand new music video directed by myself and my good friend THOM LESSNER! Rolling Stone just did the official premiere which you can check out HERE.

Thom and I had an amazing dream team of super talented people help us turn this around in a ridiculous amount of time including: Harvey Benschoter, Jacob Ciocci, Peter Burr, Zac Palladino, Spencer Sheridan, Bonnie Brenda Scott, Jason Hsu, Emilia Brintall, Brian Langan, David Dunn, MJ Schirmer, Kevin Gallagher, Rose Luardo, and Jesse Olanday.

The film is playing at the Riverview Theater in Philadelphia on Thursday June 3rd in front of Iron Man 2. The event is FREE if you RSVP ahead of time.
