Exciting Waiting Outside... news! Tomorrow, if weather cooperates, we’ll be excited to return to Bowring Park in the City of St. John's to film a video for Rozalind MacPhail’s original song Never Let Go with lyrics co-written by the short film’s writer/director/producer Joshua Jamieson who will shoot the music video for the song which plays over the credits. Tonight, Joshua and Max (the beagle!) did some additional location scouting. The video will be edited by Josh Caine and be released with the single from Roz soon! Roz has also been recording refreshed vocals and flute segments for the tune, AND was recently nominated for MusicNL awards - we’re so proud of her!
