Kobe Honeycutt earlier this year in February, 2014, in Las Vegas, NV. Director Xavier Ybarra says, "It was a real pleasure working with talent of this caliber.

The song "I'm Addicted" is apart of Artist JildyT's EP "The Love Love Love Project." This EP is geared towards Love and to raise awareness of Domestic Violence. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Artist JildyT will go to charities such as the Jenesse Center.

The EP has been completed in the Hollywood Hippie Records studio and the "I'm Addicted" Music Video put back in the swing of things. Director Xavier Ybarra says, "I was pleased to open the project after so much time had passed. Getting a fresh look at the material before jumping into editing is priceless. I love being able to stay with a project from beginning to end. Mostly, because the project always takes a turn in another direction in the editing room and I love that discovery. It doesn't matter if the video looks exactly how you intended it. As long as the feeling of the story is preserved."

"The Love Love Love Project" EP is set to be released February, 2015.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO


OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

Director Xavier Ybarra and 1st AD Anthony Bloodworth discussing the schedule. 

From page to the screen, Director Xavier Ybarra brings to life the artistic concept of a Bruja (played by Priscilla Jaramillo) who seduces a musician (played by Recording Artist Alé) to take his soul. 

In the photo above, Recording Artist Alé faces the wall of photos in attempts to overcome the spell she's placed him under. 

As Alé plays his guitar with passion and intent, he's pulled into the photo and seduced to touch her. 

When he does, Alé is thrown out of the photo to find his picture has replaced hers.

This process continues as he begins to give in more quickly each time.

Until, at last, the musician's photos have replaced all of hers.

Director Xavier Ybarra was approached by Music Artist Alé to direct his single Niña Bruja several weeks ago. The song is about a musician who's been placed under a spell by a bruja (played by Priscilla Jaramillo) who practices the dark arts. The concept of the video starts when the musician confronts the bruja's spell and try's to break from it with his music. While the musician plays his heart out to over power the spell, the bruja plays her own tune as a seductress. In the end, the musician is battling to save his soul. While the bruja works to steal it. Director Xavier Ybarra says, "It's a high concept video and is geared to be sexy and entertaining. It's interesting how the idea for the video came about. As I was writing the script, I was inspired by a photo hanging on the wall in the cafe I was sitting in.

The simple light reflections, on the glass in the picture frame blending over the image, sparked the concept for the video. I love the way the imagination works. From storyboard to screen, it all went according to plan on set Saturday. Now it's all about post-production."

Director Xavier Ybarra and his team (Anthony Bloodworth and George Ohan) filmed the music video Saturday, October 11th, 2014. Now the Director will spend the next couple weeks editing. Director Xavier Ybarra says, "What I love about editing, is that it's exactly like directing for me. After directing the story on set, I must now find the direction the story is to unfold for the audience. Even though each shot was storyboarded and carefully planned, everything changes in the editing room. There's an unlimited amount of possibilities on the direction you can take the project and that's exciting." The video is to be released October 25th, 2014. 

The official Behind-The-Scenes photos and videos coming soon.
