Calling Matthew is a singer/songwriter who lives in Dallas and is from Tulsa. His name is Matt Montgomery and he's a great songwriter and musician. He and I started discussing this video in May 2010. We shot the video in July. He just recently finished mixing the audio for his new album so we're ready to share the video with everyone. Matt's one of the most creative people I've ever met and is a true renaissance man.

The actress in the video is Amber Ryan, she's an awesome model from Dallas and this was her first acting gig. She did a great job and really gave the video a professional feel. Not only was she easy to direct but she gave some good insight and helped with the direction of the video.

Shooting a video like this takes more than one person running a camera so a few thanks. Thanks to Abe for carrying my light and 40lb battery, my wife Carmen for helping me produce the video, listening to the song 1,000+ times and taking photos during the first shoot and my friend Kelly for taking pictures and running the audio during the second shoot.

Thanks to everyone who helped and I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it.
