James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and recording artist. He is the originator of funk music and is a major figure of 20th century popular music and dance.
In a career that spanned decades, Brown profoundly influenced the development of many different musical genres. Brown moved on a continuum of blues and gospel-based forms and styles to a profoundly "Africanized" approach to music making. Brown performed in concerts, first making his rounds across the Chitlin' Circuit, and then across the country and later around the world, along with appearing in shows on television and in movies. Although he contributed much to the music world through his hitmaking, Brown holds the record as the artist who charted the most singles on the Billboard Hot 100 without ever hitting number one on that chart.
For many years, Brown's touring show was one of the most extravagant productions in American popular music. At the time of Brown's death, his band included three guitarists, two bass guitar players, two drummers, three horns and a percussionist. The bands that he maintained during the late 1960s and 1970s were of comparable size, and the bands also included a three-piece amplified string section that played during ballads. Brown employed between 40 and 50 people for the James Brown Revue, and members of the revue traveled with him in a bus to cities and towns all over the country, performing upwards of 330 shows a year with almost all of the shows as one-nighters. In 1986, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 1990 into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Plot: From ShadowScreen Productions comes the second short film by Director Ryan Travis. The Chase is a high octane ride through the gritty urban landscape of Hamburg, Germany. The ride begins in a barren warehouse, where the Thief, played by Beau Clark delivers high end merchandise to his underworld client. The underworld client, or Boss, played by Kevin Scott Allen closely examines the sleek curves of the stolen BMW 1200 GS motorcycle and inspects for faults. The Boss' inquiry takes the audience back in time, through flashbacks, to reveal the death defying stunts carried out by the Thief to attain such a prized possession. With the sounds of shattering glass and whizzing bullets still languishing in his memory the Thief collects his cash and leaves, promising a superior product.

Genres: Comedy, Short,The wind blows so cold through the streets tonight
Stepping outside of the taxi that drops us downtown.
I'll play the man with you by my side
And you'll play the little lady who needs me around.
I'm around.
Enter the first bar we see to get our heads on right.
The smell stings like desperation, lite beer and perfume.
And you raise your voice and say, "This ain't my tribe."
We'll then hurry up darlin and finish your drink, anyplace will do.
Then the Boss comes over the stereo singing something about Vietnam
And the frat boys yell for the USA, they think it's a rally song
They'd never suspect something is wrong.
Something is wrong.
Further down the road we're feeling more at home
And everyone I see looks like me and they're likely to be
Feeling so completely alone with their friends so near
And the beer light lights up the lead singer who's words I can't hear
And their song comes over the blown PA you know it's something about living to die.
The bassist looks like Dylan in '68 and you ask me is everyone high.
