Falling into split categories as a short musical film and music video, "Hypnosis For Theatre" was awarded "Best Alternative Rock Video" at The Akademia Music Awards in Beverly Hills, California, on Dec 15, 2014.
The production crew was awarded real dog tags, each with the lead character's name, Strike, printed on it.
During filming of the military scenes, the cast and crew had to be on the lookout for snakes, as the surrounding area in which they were filming was heavily populated with them.
This is the second short film collaboration between writer Howard Lawrence and director Chris Mauldin.
The music for "Hypnosis For Theatre" appears on Black River Sanction's second full-length studio album, Running After Midnight, which Howard Lawrence produced.
