ASHES DELIVERS “THE PROMISE”
For Immediate Release – August 2013
Lansing, Michigan – On Sunday September 1st at 8:00 pm EST, New House Entertainment in association with Collective Development Inc., and Ahptic Film and Digital, plan a worldwide premiere of the trailer of the long awaited film, ASHES OF EDEN.
Earlier this year, a teaser trailer was released earning worldwide audience praise. The trailer had thousands of views and was seen in 36 countries. Former Michigan native, Nathaniel Nose, assembled the new and full-length theatrical trailer in Los Angeles, CA.
“It was literally a match made in heaven. I haven’t enjoyed working on something like this for some time. [Ashes] is one of the most interesting and best executed films I’ve seen come out of Michigan.” – Nathaniel Nose, filmmaker
“Most trailers give a glimpse of what a movie will be, this one kicks the front door in. The story unfolds giving you exactly the right information and emotion without giving everything away. Nathaniel’s work captured all the right moves.” – Shane Hagedorn
‘The Promise’ is an urban and edgy track composed by Tony Stone of Hands Up Productions and lyrics by Soundsgood recording artist, Jerome. Promise is the bedrock heartbeat for the trailer and also included in the Ashes soundtrack.
"Having the opportunity to create a song for Ashes of Eden was exciting. The whole Ashes team was refreshing to work with. Pushing the boundaries by presenting tough subject matter, in hopes to impact people with the message of faith in Christ, is powerful. Shane and DJ took things to another level with this project and I believe lives will be impacted in a positive way" – Jerome
“Jerome’s music reminds me of everything I use to like about old school rap, meaningful lyrics woven tightly within body rocking beats – true artistry with a message.” – DJ Perry
‘Promise’ will be available as a free download through the Soundsgood app at the iTunes store. Fans will be given a link to the song on Ashes’ Facebook, Twitter, as well as the Soundsgood website.
