Any Halo fans in Indabaland? Check this out:

The boys of the band, broken Iris, are major Halo fans. Imagine their excitement when they learned that Halo execs were gathering new music submissions for consideration in the upcoming Halo 3 soundtrack! Imagine their dismay upon finding out they missed the deadline! Imagine their glee to hear that the moderator of one of Halo's popular fan sites, HaloGrid, just happened to be a huge fan of the band (whew!). When news reached him of the band's missed opporunity, he came up with an idea: A machinima music video contest. To promote the band's music to the Halo community, the call went out to create a music video using one of three songs from the band. 

Enter Hellhawk: An upcoming "machinima master" famous for his "Floaty Silence" series. He is a former machinima contest winner in the leading Halo fan site, HBO (halo.bungie.org). Recognized by Halo music composer, Marty O'Donnell, as an "upstanding young man" (entrusting him with one of his Halo 3 songs), Hellhawk is a serious contender for the top prize which includes playing Halo with the bandmates! I am pleased to announce his contest submission called, One Track Minded Age. Named after the song, this movie poses the question, "Are our nightmares our own, or have they been passed on to us?" 

You can see more machinima from this talented director here. What's all this have to do with me? I hate video games....but I love Hellhawk... (He's my son!) ;)
