Mature Musical Pictures "Counterfeits of Control" (feat Kahra) Official Music Video

Two girls are brought under custody by two cops and one FBI agent for rebelling and not having a bar code on their forehead. They are brought through the town and farmland with a scowling public looking on. Luckily Harriet, the lady in red, spots their predicament and prepares their "Underground Railroad" escape. The girls are brought into an unprofessional, unmarked location where the bad cops leave them in chains with two purple haired crazy nurses who are excited to experiment on their bodies and also farm their organs. The girls are in a nightmare until the nurses go to check on their other patient and the girls seize their only chance for escape. Tossing their chains away, they run to find the lady in red waiting confidently in a white sports car. They speed away as cries can be heard from the doped up patient becoming another victim to the nurses will.

Director Statement

Was a fun and productive 11 hour day filming the song Counterfeits of Control with MMP and featured artist Kahra. The actors, extras, and location at Shangri-La Springs in Bonita Springs, FL was perfect for the storyline and mood we wished to portray.
