Drunken Monkee is Bronson (This video is kick ass)



So it started out like every other conversation i have with a good friend thats also an artist. Light one up and begin to talk about why we as recording artist, poets, video directors, and painters cant "get on". The downward talk about how doing this indie artist shit while getting older by the minute is getting so depressing you'd give anything to just strike a big deal with some sponsor or major label so you and the crew can finally "blow" and go from rags to riches. Then finally getting past the blah blah blah of every artist situation something happens an idea emerges through and on this occassion it happened to be one of my close friends the Drunken Monkeee. He says "Man ima do a video as Bronson". Im like "the actor?". He's like "Nah the prisoner the movie was made about".

Most of the time these types of ideas get so big as far as supplies and budget they slip away but this time my mans held on to it to the finish. Bronson is a movie based on the life of the UK's most violent prisoner Charlie Bronson who's birth name is Michael Peterson the film was directed by Nicholas Refn and looks incredible, so when Drunk teamed up with my other friend and artist, Amir George, who paints on his canvas with the 7D camera, I was a little unsure about how they would do this remake concept video off the Bronson movie. Well, in the end it turns out in my opinion this is both Amir and Drunks best work I've seen yet. I love these guys for the hell of a job they did, even Drunken Monkeee spent a month getting into the Bronson character to get the scenes down to perfection. So this is it. Watch the movie and the video you'll be pleased the wole way around.
