The Burrower Sessions documents Kayleigh Goldsworthy, currently on hiatus from The Scarlet Ending, as she is days away from playing a sold-out hometown show playing new, largely unheard country influenced solo music. Please check out the trailer here.



The album, entitled "Burrower", took 3 years to record and each of it's 9 tracks will be performed live by Kayleigh at the end of every episode. Click here for the Burrower Sessions official page.

'Please Subscribe' YouTube Film To Be Released Soon

Tay Zonday

Fresh off of the recent announcement that Dead Hooker In A Trunk had been sold to IFC, we can also announce that our YouTube documentary Please Subscribe, another co-production with the Twisted Twins, is nearly through it's final polish and now has distribution deals in place upon delivery of the film and, of course, after our 4 friends finally get to watch it. Here are a few stills in advance:

Please Subscribe follows four of the original four Youtube celebrities (David Choi, Daxflame, Tay Zonday & Happyslip) whose home made, lo-fi videos went viral and made them household names on the same level as any Hollywood star. The film explores “Celebrity 2.0” and the perks and darkness surrounding the effects of net success on their lives and the entertainment industry overall.

The film features music by Sean Hayes, The Belle Game, Tay Zonday, David Choi and the film's signature track called 'Half As Much' written and performed by Kaleena Goldsworthy of The Scarlet Ending.

The Scarlet Ending Perform Epiphany From "Ghosts"


We proudly present the final performance we shot with The Scarlet Ending during their time here last year. The song is called Epiphany and has rarely been heard in it's entirety, as the song is only featured on their album Ghosts as a single verse/chorus. Here the two sisters, Kayleigh & Kaleena Goldsworthy, along with guitarist Jon Tedd perform flawless 3-part harmonies on the spot, without rehearsal and amplification free.

This clip was initially only available as a special feature on the Kickstarter Reward DVD we designed to give to the people who funded these videos. Viewers could use their DVD remotes to switch between the two available camera angles to edit their own version of the track. Now a select group of you can judge the job we did on ours!

Scarlet Ending Kickstarter Reward DVD Details & Extras Announced


Back in September, Syracuse's The Scarlet Ending turned to fundraising websaviour Kickstarter as a hail mary attempt to help make two music videos in my current homeland of Vancouver. Like long-time, late night guilty pleasure Scott Houston does on PBS, we asked you to send us your extra bits of wealth in exchange for exclusive items - naturally escalating in grandeur relative to the size of your generosity.

Surprisingly, the majority of people who donated did so above and beyond the 10 dollar amount and will be receiving a DVD packed with as much as we could get done for you in the two days we had. The disc includes:

Limited Edition Scarlet Ending DVD Details Announced


as an early form of bribery during pre-production of the scarlet ending videos posted below, we promised donators we'd create an exclusive, limited-run of dvds containing the videos as a thank you. only 200 of these are being created and we have done our best to include some extra things we thought you'd enjoy:

the dvd will include high quality versions of both "phoenix" and "exactly what you want" as well as an additional 3 camera/single-take of "sinner" performed acoustically and completely unplugged & electricity-free. another feature allows you to "direct your own video" choosing live between angles as you watch the previously unreleased full version of "epiphany."

frequent multi-purpose saviour jeffrey zablotny has also created a succinct, drifty sequence of videowurk called "smoke out" that follows along the band and filmmakers throughout the weekend. jeff has created a couple of these now for various productions of ours and they always are met with warm reception and open arms. an alternate, non-kickstarter specific edit of "smoke out" will be released online october 31st.

thank you to the over 5,000 eyes that found us in the first day or so. we all appreciate the continued viral support endlessly.

Post Production Begins On The Scarlet Ending Videos


As previously mentioned, we shot two videos with the scarlet ending over the weekend and post-production  is about halfway completed. the dvd for the kickstarter donations is shaping up to be a pretty great package so far and we have done our best to make them as "worth it" as possible.

the video release dates and what-can-be-announced-when about the videos & special edition dvd will be plotted over the weekend and shared shortly thereafter. special additional weekend thanks to mr & mrs zablotny [for the surprise craft service], mr. veenendaal [for the surprise drums & bass], mr & mrs wallis [for tanks of gas and etc.] and the six members of the scarlet ending [for having the balls to come all this way and then show them to me].

David Lovgren Added To Scarlet Ending Cast


We are absolutely thrilled to add and announce the one and only David Lovgren to the cast of the "first video" for The Scarlet Ending. David has an impressively long resume and always been a favorite of ours here. Most fondly remember him as the sinister Swedish coach in "Cool Runnings" uttering the endlessly quotable trailer friendly line "Go Home Jamaica." to the Cinderella bobsled team.

Interesting Fact?: David played "Ben" the not-quite-who-he-seems security guard in Scott Smith's multi-award winning debut feature film "Rollercoaster," which I worked on from early script stages until the final theatrical screening almost 3 years later.

Scarlet Ending Videos Get Funded, Film This Weekend



The Scarlet Ending, with just under 100 donations (!), over-achieved their goal by nearly $600 by raising just over $3,000 and are currently en route to Vancouver to shoot our aforementioned music videos. With funding secured only a few days ago, pre-production has been fast and terrifying with everything coming together in the final moments.

The "first video" as it's being called will feature some familiar Vancouver talent in the cast. Filmmaker and actress Katrin Bowen - who is currently enjoying the glow of a rapidly exploding new semi-autobiographical film called Amazon Falls). Dead Hooker alumni member and the finest film pyro man around Mr. David Barkes who most recently set a man on fire repeatedly to co-earn the world record for longest full body burn which earned himself an appearance on Inside Edition.

The "second video" is the complete opposite of the first but, because the songs are staying under the radar by request, there isn't much more to elaborate on at the moment. Which makes this section of the post semi-redundant and a bit obnoxious. :/

Limited edition DVDs of the videos filled to the business with exclusive extras that we think should be genuinely interesting will be produced and shipped complete with original artwork and design by us! Stills and sneak peeks will find their way up various places after this weekend.

Editors note: Thank you to Jen, Marius & Sylvia Soska and Dale Wallis for their last second heroics and also to Jerome Berthier for all the reasons I said before...

Announcement: Two Scarlet Ending Music Videos

Syracuse band "The Scarlet Ending," co-fronted by Kaleena (also of Please Subscribe fame) & Kayleigh Goldsworthy (also of Elective fame), recently released their impressive album "Ghosts" which is more than deserving of the praise and attention it has been receiving.

Fresh Back from their August long east coast tour, which included a featured interview on US Weekly, the band has their sights set on driving 7 days across the continent (each way) to make 2 videos in Vancouver and play shows along the way. In their words:



As mentioned, the bands goal is to raise $2,500 to help cover the daunting expenses that go along with being a self-financed independent band. Their substantial group of followers chipped in over 20% of the goal in the first day. Please Click Here To Help Us All Out. As little as a single dollar helps a ton. The band and myself have created varying levels of exclusive prizes & bribery all of which are listed on the Kickstarter Page and will look very nice up on your shelf, we promise.

The two songs & video details are being kept under wraps until the release by request,  but check out the album here in the meantime and you will see no matter which songs are chosen, your donation & the videos are in extremely safe musical hands. Visit their official website here.
