We were really excited to see that Current TV posted an article on our music video for Elizabeth Seward’s awesome track “Gray.” Here’s what they had to say:

Elizabeth Seward's "Gray" Video Wins Sacramento Film and Music Festival Award

Article By: Mike Johnston

NYC indie rocker Elizabeth Seward continues the evolution of her musical career by claiming an award at the prestigious Sacramento Film and Music Festival. I have previously featured her winning video "Gray" here (and above) as well as another video/song she did titled "A New Town" (link: http://current.com/items/89964753_elizabeth-seward-a-new-town.htm ). The award she won was Best Independent Video (runner up) and that is kinda huge.

Hey everybody!! The Sacramento Film & Music Festival kicks off tonight!! Opening night will launch the premiere of Sensored. There will be an after party as well to get your drink on, so if you are in the area, GO GET TICKETS! Sensored was directed by Naissance-collaborator Ryan Todd and produced by KeJo Productions. If you’re in attendance tonight you’ll get to see the titles and a few of the effects in the film created by Naissance. We’re extremely proud and really excited.

Also, super cool news is that our music video for Elizabeth Seward’s latest track “Gray” will be shown on Saturday night at the festival (7/25/09). You can check out “Gray” online, but it’ll be a lot cooler up on the big screen!!!

We are completely stoked to post that the film Sensored will be opening the Sacramento Film Festival this summer. The film was directed by co-conspirator Ryan Todd, written by Kevin Haskin, and produced by Jo Haskin. The film stars Robert Picardo of Star Trek fame as the devious Wade. A man caught between his murderous day job and his passion for writing children’s books (he has issues). The opening titles were created by Nick Trivundza and book ended with closing credits by Josh Jones.

In the midst of one of the busiest production schedules I can remember - we have managed to concept / create / and finish the music video to Elizabeth Seward’s latest track, “Gray.” The music video itself was directed and designed by Nick Trivundza, produced by Lexie Findarle, with director of Photography Ryan Todd. Josh Jones was also on location as our special effects supervisor, but most importantly the video features an amazing performance by Elizabeth Seward herself.

We just got back in from an awesome music video shoot in San Francisco for super cool rockstar Elizabeth Seward's brand new track "Gray." The shoot itself was handled by Naissance with Nick Trivundza directing, Ryan Todd at the helm as DP, Josh Jones over-seeing the motion tracking, and Lexie Findarle as producer.

We're now moving into the post-production and will be releasing the video into the wild soon!

Really cool update in the realm of feature films. Director Ryan Todd’s film Sensored is currently wrapping post production. The film was produced by super cool production company KeJo and opening titles were created by Naissance’s Nick Trivundza. The film stars Robert Picardo as Wade Mixon, a children’s book author and illustrator whose “work” can be seen in the titles.

Naissance has just wrapped a short-short film entitled "From This Window." This film, which is entirely graphic, recreates the seasons poetically passing by one's window. The film features a soundtrack by the musician Ugress and was directed by Nick Trivundza with sound design by John Northcraft. The piece was produced by Lexie Findarle who also supplied the narration. And a special thanks goes out to audio engineer Ryan Sibitiz for the record.
