2020 VISION
{MAKING OF THE VIDEO/SONG}
When we wrote this song, it was always about the so-called news
media's bias in either one direction or the other, and how the two
sides are more alike than they are different.
The constant narrative seems to be that you are either one extreme
or the other, and most people seem to fall right into the traps of
believing that this is the case.
Meanwhile, the people who make the rules rarely seem to have to
live by them, or at the very least are extremely out of touch with what
life is like for a normal person. They thrive while we argue amongst
ourselves.
The dangers of a media that slants in one direction or the other is that
eventually the water is so muddy that it's hard to even know what the
truth is.
That danger, has never made itself more clear then now, when in a
time we need each other most, we still squabble over labeling each
other and separating ourselves from each other over anything from
age, sex, race, creed, politics, war, or religion, and being forced to
choose between something or someone no one really wants.
Few are happy with the direction everything seems to be traveling in,
but complacency thrives in comfort.
We just really want to start a conversation about how we can work
together to start mending the damage. Start asking questions without
bias. Start being open-minded.

Kevin Billingslea of Halo Studios produced and mixed the entire EP
“The Cycle”. We had it mastered by grammy winning producer Adam
Ayan of world famous Gateway Studios.
Once we had it in hand, we started storyboarding ideas on how we
could convey the message, and how we could maybe raise some
eyebrows with that message. We presented the ideas we had to
grammy nominated Project 2 Studios. AprilMay Creative group built the sets over the course of a week before we started shooting, which took two days. The actors did an incredible job bringing their characters to life on the first day of shooting. The band scenes were done the next day in various locations including a rooftop scene of an old mill building with drone shots Director Alex Stintz brought his camera filming experience along with a lot of great ideas to help with
2020 Vision. The band and he spent a lot of extremely late nights
editing and cutting scenes, around 8 hours of total footage. The
amount of work that went into this video was astounding, and we
couldn’t have done it without the many extremely talented
individuals that helped make 2020 Vision a reality
