WALK OFF THE EARTH RELEASES SHORT FILM, TAEKWONDO
21 SEPTEMBER 2017 (Toronto, ON) – Gold-certified five-piece band Walk Off The Earth releases their highly-anticipated comical short film, Taekwondo. Directed by Gianni Luminati Nicassio and Chris Stacey, Taekwondo was shot in California’s San Clemente State Beach and features all five band members – Nicassio, Sarah Blackwood, Ryan Marshall, Joel Cassady and Mike “Beard Guy” Taylor. The Taekwondo short film premiered exclusively on the band’s YouTube channel and can be viewed below.
Taekwondo is a 15-minute short film that tells the story of a young, romantic idealist (Nicassio) in the pursuit of the girl of his dreams (Blackwood) as he learns the skills of self-defense while preparing for a showdown with ninjas. The film was produced by Walk Off The Earth and features original music by the band including their latest single, “Taekwondo”, and covers of iconic songs by Mungo Jerry, Snap, Silk and Iron Maiden. The band released Taekwondo: The Soundtrack this past Monday via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Download Taekwondo: The Soundtrack here.
