Last month, I filmed my first music video--for an original song of mine called "This Too Shall Pass."

The video itself will be screened up at the AMC Theater in Westminster on Wednesday, Sept 30. It will be a part of an independent film event, with several other short films being shown--the main short is called "The Infected," and the music video will be shown in between some of the other films that night.
