Kontent Partners
Seattle based creative production house, Kontent Partners, recently collaborated with Rachel Flotard/Local 638 Records, Pearl Jam and their distribution network Monkey Wrench, to produce the music video for “Alone in This Together,” the title track off the new album by Star Anna and the Laughing Dogs.
Directed by Craig Brooks and Lindsay Daniels, the video was shot over a single day in an abandoned, turn of the century home in Seward Park. The video supports the band’s performance at the Pearl Jam 20 Destination Weekend on September 3/4, and the September 8 kick off of their West Coast tour.
“Shooting in Seattle not only helped logistically, but retained the soul and authenticity of the Northwest-rooted band,” said Brooks.
Kontent Partners assembled over 18 of some of the best Seattle film crew to execute an incredibly ambitious production schedule.

Pitchfork:
Entertainment Weekly reported that Heath ledger has directed a video for Modest Mouse that has not been released yet. The Playlist points out that the video was for “King Rat”, a We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank bonus track. In an interview with VH1 in spring 2007, Isaac Brock said, “Heath Ledger’s been wanting to do a video for one of the songs that didn’t make it on the record, ‘King Rat.’ Terry Gilliam is going to help animate it.” The status of the “King Rat” video is currently unknown.
Seattle Subsonic:
The first video from Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band containing their actual music. “Cheer For Fate” was conceived, shot, and edited by the band. This is the song that makes you think they sound like Modest Mouse. It also deals with subtitles, longing for love, and lots of physical destruction. Super 8 = awesome!
