Director M. Sean McManus has focused on creating micro-budget films as a form of self expression. With the support of producer Mary E. Brickthrower and countless others these visions come before you. Utilizing a strict regimen of advanced techniques in memory dilation, temporal analgesia, and hypno-meditation; these films are based on lived experiences and clarified by the cinematic process.

  1. Daisy Royce Champagne (Official Music Video)

    Daisy Royce is a Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter. "Champagne" depicts a princess's walk-of-shame through the city of brotherly love that builds into a dreamlike revelry. The song is about celebration in the midst of failure, the cycles of learning from personal mistakes, and about always pushing toward your aspirations.

    Daisy's music skirts the line between musical theatre and folk, with an emphasis on storytelling. Her unique sound has been described as an animated princess with lyrics that are strikingly honest and disarming. 

    Performing with a five-piece band, Daisy Royce has been making music and wowing crowds around Philadelphia since 2018. For more information about Daisy and her music, please visit:
