Interesting info about the director of Testament's upcoming video, Thomas Mignone...

there's a new independent feature film that's coming out in June called "On The Doll" --- the film's director is our friend and video director Thomas Mignone - Besides just directing our new video for "More Than Meets The Eye", he's directed lots of other videos you may know, such as Mudvayne's "Dig", and bands like Slipknot, Death Angel, System Of A Down, Sepultura, Soulfly, Obituary, Danzig, Megadeth, The Fall Of Troy, and many others.

The film stars Brittany Snow in a way you've never seen her before --- she plays a very mean-spirited prostitute who exacts revenge on the people who have abused and exploited her. The film deals with themes of child abuse and the way people can be victimized in a very compelling and heartfelt way --- the film also stars Candice Accola from "Juno", and Josh Janowicz from "The Chumscrubber".

The title comes "On The Doll" comes from the phrase psychiatrists ask children who've been abused to "Show them on the doll where they were touched". All the characters in this film are very strong, independent-thinking people who find ways to help each other overcome their adversaries even though they have all experienced great pain and hurt in their younger lives but they can still find the strength to not be victimized throughout their adult lives.

The film also has some great music in it too. The soundtrack is by Paul D'Amour, who was the original bassist and songwriter for TOOL. There are also songs by Miss Derringer, The Crystal Method, Feersum Ennjin and The Black Heart Procession. The music in the film is like a character itself and really creates the somber mood.

"On The Doll" is being released in stores and online on June 17. Please support Thomas' film. We think it has an important message about our society that needs to be seen and heard. check out the film's website it at www.onthedoll.com.
