MAKE, Musicbed's Critically-Acclaimed Feature-Length Documentary Exploring The Motivation Behind a Creative Life, Now Widely Available On Demand

Featuring award-winning director Reed Morano, A.S.C. (The Handmaid's Tale, Meadowland), indie pop duo Sylvan Esso and renowned graphic designer Aaron Draplin, "MAKE" looks at the hearts, minds, successes and failures of creators with a cast of visionary artists, designers, filmmakers and musicians. While many documentaries have tackled creativity, "MAKE" aims to go deeper and get more personal about how an artist's identity in what they make is affected when their ego gets in the way.

"In the creative industry, the thing that motivates us directly affects what we're going to create," said Daniel McCarthy, the film's executive producer and the founder and CEO of Musicbed. "Instead of asking 'what', we as artists need to be asking 'why'. Our hope is that MAKE will force creatives to question their motives and find a more freeing and healthier vision of what it means to be an artist."

"MAKE" is Musicbed's first feature-length film, which the company produced over the course of two years, and has won the acclaim of creative critics and professionals alike. The film is now available for rental and purchase on iTunes, Amazon Video, Google Play, VUDU, Vimeo on Demand and Microsoft Movies & TV.

Quotes From The Film:

"I can be a director and a leader, and someone trying to help a brand. I can come out here to my studio and paint a painting that no one sees. For me, it all has value." – Eliot Rausch, filmmaker

"It's much more interesting to talk about the grey area of things than it is to talk about what you've decided is right." - Amelia Meath, Sylvan Esso

"My dad told me when I was very young, 'No one is going to give you the power. You have to take the power." – Reed Morano, A.S.C.

"If no one ever looked, I'd still be making cool s*** with my buddies. You know what I mean? That's as honest as I can be. Before anyone was interested, that's what I was doing. I had a great life." - Aaron Draplin, graphic designer
