Mike & The Moonpies "One is the Whiskey" Directed by: Reed Smith
This video was shot in several segments around Austin. We started at the Hard Luck Lounge on E. 7th making our way around South Congress to Homeslice, also South First, and Zilker Park. Preproduction began at the End of 2014, where we shot our first portion. We planned our next moves and developed the narrative before shooting 2 more days in 2015. Assembly began in February, and we finished color correction and effects last week in an effort to submit to the festival.

Them good ol' boys are gettin' groovy drinking their special tea before heading out for their show. When their van won't start and with all of their phones useless they draw dominos to determine who will be the one to take the walk. As the drugs take hold the boys slowly lose their grip on reality...

The Gunhands "Mama Loves Jesus" Directed by: Erik McCowan
This was a very no-budget music video but we made great things happen to get the product! The band was very gracious and everyone had a great time. No hired actors, everyone included was a friend. Totally inspired from the lyrics the director dreamed up one night.
