The Crumbles coming to a theater near you with music by Quetzal Flores

Award-winning director Akira Boch, together with his wife, production designer/editor Azusa Oda, directed an epic music video for the theme song to THE CRUMBLES movie, released on YouTube this week.

“The Crumbles” music video was inspired in large by the anti-nuclear message of the original Godzilla movie, and the nuclear reactor meltdown in Fukushima, Japan. The black and white images, filmed using a painstaking technique called stop-motion animation, give the video an exciting and dark character. Creating a video using the stop-motion technique was a nine month process well worth the effort. It’s a rare and unique treat to see a music video tied to an indie movie. The music was produced by Quetzal Flores, of the Grammy winning band Quetzal. The video features the movie’s cast members who depict supersized animated characters. THE CRUMBLESopens this Friday at the Laemmle’s Pasadena Playhouse 7 theater in Pasadena, CA, and continues with showings across the country on its “Awkward ‘n’ Awesome Tour” (see full calendar below).

THE CRUMBLES follows the ups and downs of the greatest band in the world... that no one's ever heard of.  This indie rock slice-of-life tragicomedy stars a talented up-and-coming, multi-racial cast including Teresa Michelle Lee (Elisa), Katie Hipol (Darla) and Jeff Torres (Dante), whose performances have been called “memorable and spirited” by the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival.  The film is set in Echo Park, one of LA’s oldest and most eclectic neighborhoods, with a population made up of working class Latinos, hipsters, and artists of all stripes.  The odd mixture of people and cultures creates a funky and flavorful milieu, where the characters in THE CRUMBLES fit right in.
