DESCRIPTION:
"John Panich Is Dead"

Video Premiere Gala March 1, 2014

JP From The HP AKA John Panich and Detroit Filmmaker Colin Duerr are finally releasing their long awaited Music Video/Short Film, "John Panich Is Dead". After almost two years of work and two release delays, the video will be presented to an audience at Detroit's The Jam Handy on Saturday, March 1st and posted online the following Tuesday, March 4th at their respective websites.

"John Panich Is Dead" portrays Panich in his final hours on Earth and his first hours in a hallucinogenic afterlife, juxtaposed with visions of his Mother's depression regarding his death and the intrigue his corpse has on a troubled Female Mortician. It accomplishes a short story as well as an abstract dissection of the mystery of death and our place in the cosmos; it's horror and it's hope.

Duerr, who helmed the acclaimed video for Passalacqua's "Sirens", returns with his eccentric hand-made style, having built sets, costumes and props for the video along with editing and directing. Panich stars as himself and also produced and performed the track from his album, "My Asteroid Wants To Kill Your Planet".

The piece will also feature the talents and faces of some of Detroit's most talented artists such as Joe Average (Of Mice And Musicians), Jimmy Doom (Almighty Lumberjacks Of Death), with dance choreography contributed by Tunde Olaniran and guitar playing by Dave Taylor (The Amino Acids).
