RIZON ON USA TODAY POP CANDY

Our very own Chris DellaPace & Jared Hankins directed The Coasts new music video, I Just Wanna Be A Star. The Coasts, with Old Flame Records, released their new album 'Racilia' on May 20, 2014. The band was interested in collaborating with Chris before the album drop, so for a couple of months Chris joined band meetings at their usual late night spot, Waffle House in Cabot, AR. The extremely creative duo, Ike Peters (guitar) & Eric Mount (drums), brainstormed concepts with Chris & eventually sharpened what the video is today. Chris said he really wanted to bring out their 60's garage band sound, but still be able to make their concept work. We can't forget to mention our super hero, Ellis! Take after take, Ellis brought energy & true showmanship, clothed in a cape. After practicing this song for months, his hard efforts have paid off. Not many 4-year-olds can say their music video premiered on USA Today Pop Candy. Enjoy the music. Enjoy the video. That's what it's about.

RIVERFEST 2014

The past few years we've collaborated with Eric Rob & Isaac ad agency to create Arkansas' Riverfest commercials. Our work can be seen internationally, but local work has a unique reward. Major kudos to Eric Rob & Isaac for not just beautiful branding, but their efforts to make the event actually happen. Rizon Media had a blast this year and look forward to many more!

A DAY WITH THE DUDE

No Kid Hungry is a campaign of the Share Our Strength nonprofit, striving to end child hunger in America. They're attacking the source by getting nutritional programs in schools to feed & educate children. Jeff Bridges, also responds to The Dude, is a spokesperson who's been fighting hunger issues for about 25 years. This is where Rizon could help. We filmed and mic'd up Jeff as he visited Stephens Elementary School to see the "Breakfast After The Bell" program in action. After that, he was teaching morning calisthenics involving fruit and vegetables...probably our best memories of the day. Later, Jeff and Billy Shore shared No kid Hungry's message in the State Convention Center along side Governor Mike Beebe. Our crew then moved to Walmart to shoot Cooking Matters education, then toured around to see how aftercare/summer programs are using No Kid Hungry meal plans.

Jeff Bridges was a ton of fun to work with even if we kept thinking:

 "...you're out of your element!"
