Film

This album was originally planned to be the soundtrack for a film of the same name, directed by Matt Mays and Drew Lightfoot. Although Mays has said the filming is complete, funding ran out before production was completed and the project has been indefinitely shelved. Sam Roberts and Buck 65 are featured in the movie, (Buck 65 plays the character on the album cover) The movie trailer, music video and live performance are on the When The Angels Make Contact web page.

"A Spoonful Of Sugar" was also used from his album to his movie and the same song later appeared in the 2007 film, Shrek 3.
