All films need great characters and great actors with star quality to play
them. The films' director, Russell C. Brennan, searched far and wide for just
the right person for each role. He likes the Sergio Leone way of thinking, that
each character no matter how small should make an impact.
Although there will
be some name actors of note who are known worldwide in this film, it's good to
unearth talent that is about to break big.
Many of the actors below have starred
in independent films but as yet are not household names. Also, being a music
business revenge thriller, one criteria was to get actors who could actually
play their instruments and sing. We not only achieved that but went beyond it,
attracting people who have been in bands that have played to millions of people
and been on number one hit records.

Above a few examples of Director Russell C. Brennans photos as he feels these give a better idea of his artistic flair.. At the bottom of this page is a compilation of Russell's old pop videos. Although not so relevant to his new style, it shows some creativity and knowledge of how to put together an interesting pop video. A combination of all the individual videos has already recieved 50,000 hits on 'You Tube'.
