WA featured in “Crush” trailer
Nexus 6 Films has released a two minute trailer worldwide to promote its debut feature film Crush, which was shot entirely in Western Australia. The trailer includes the yet to be released song Breakdown, by world-renowned rock band Seether.
Seether is currently enjoying No.1 status on international charts with Rise Above This, a track from their latest album, Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces. The Breakdown track is taken from the same album.
According to Nexus 6 Films' producer Deidre Kitcher, securing the publishing and master agreement rights to the Seether track is a huge coup for Crush.
"We wanted to find a song for the trailer that encapsulated the entire movie and after an exhaustive search we feel we've achieved that," she said.
Western Australian screenwriter and director John V. Soto explains that the aim was to work with a US band to gain greater international exposure for the film and reflect the fact that Crush is a teen-centric film with an ultra cool soundtrack featuring WA band The Sleepy Jackson.
The brainchild of John V. Soto, Crush tells the story of Julian Meadows - an American exchange student and disgraced Tae Kwon Do champion whose life is transformed into a living hell after being seduced by the mysterious, yet beautiful, Anna.
The film stars Australian heartthrob and Hollywood rising star Chris Egan (Resident Evil: Extinction, Eragon, Virgin Territory).
