Last year, Abbey West Recording had the opportunity to help bring a unique project to life—the official anthem for the Reno 48 Hour Film Competition.

Written by collaborators Jeffrey Bentley and Daniel Kather, the song was produced and arranged by Abbey West’s own Jerry Spikula, and recorded entirely in-house. The anthem is meant to reflect the intensity, energy, and creativity that define the 48 Hour Film Competition—a challenge where filmmakers write, shoot, and edit a short film in just two days.

The behind-the-scenes video gives a glimpse into this process, featuring moments in the studio with vocalists, instrumentalists, and engineers all working together

Thanks to everyone who contributed their time and talent to this project—we’re proud to help support Reno’s growing network of artists, filmmakers, and storytellers.
