Dia de Los Muertos

An homage to his home and the events of the film, a powerful message from Native New Mexico hip-hop artist Joshua N. Melendez.


A Life Laid Low

An Albuquerque native, this song is inspired by footage from the film and performed by punk rock front man J. Luke Schmaltz.


Pink Mist

Setting the mood in the film and continuing the story in this video, check out an original performed by nationally touring singer/songwriter Randall Olinger.

Inherited Earth
The film

March of 2020, Rion Smith of CreepyTV approached Ashley Deuell, Bodhi Rader, and Adam S. Ford with a script. While all three actors wanted to perform, the biggest question became how to do this during the COVID quarantine. Bodhi and Adam were up to the task. Not only did this become one of the first films SAG-AFTRA approved to film during COVID, but it was the first ever union film shot by CreepyTV and features a score by French composer Emmanuel Cavallo.In an effort to maintain this positive momentum, Adam offered to be the executive producer for a soundtrack to the film. Resulting in three original songs with corresponding music videos he envisioned and directed.The original songs are three different genres of music - hip-hop, alt-country, and punk - from three different musicians, all with their own established fan bases. Each music video has ties to the others and the film; including cameos from Inherited Earth, clips from the film, and musician appearances in each others’ music videos.This project could not have been completed without the incredible contributions of many different artists. Our gratitude can't be put into words, so please help us by contacting these professional creatives for your own collaborations as we navigate this trying time.
