Wake Up Music Video

Client: 2 Mounties Media

We wanted to release this video in time for the 50th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, 2020. Back in 1970, an oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara created a worldwide movement that continues today. The question we ask is WHY have we not progressed with the environmental cause as quickly as the women’s and civil rights movement which began at the same time?

This call to action song is written and performed by world renowned record producer and musician, Chris Birkett. Appearing in the video is Tristan Avakian on Electric Ud, Natalie Wong on Violin, Jeremy Edwards on Harmonica and Shari Tallon on keys. For the song itself all instruments were played by Chris Birkett except for the Harmonica. Video was shot on location in Montreal, in the Gatineau Mountains near Ottawa and in downtown Toronto.

Please share widely and remember there’s never a better time to “wake up and know the truth, this world was made for all”
