Danielle LoPresti and The Masses

Four years in the making, Danielle LoPresti and The Masses first started shooting this video in 2010, at the peak of the great housing recession and unemployment crisis. The video tells the tale of three Americans - the white collar businesswoman, the immigrant worker, and the artist - all whose lives are intrinsically connected by the same universal struggle. Little did Danielle know that an even greater struggle was on the horizon that would threaten her life. Three years from the first day of shooting and after a terrifying late-stage cancer battle, Danielle returned to the stage for the first time to shoot the final scene of this triumphant video.

This video was shot in two parts. The first part shot in 2010 was directed by Craig Wilson of Mental Eclectic. The second part, shot in 2013 at San Diego IndieFest, was directed by Asher Brown of Prollution Studios. Editing and Post by Longlost Pictures and Pollution Studios.

Aloha Danielle, from Kaua`i- I'm so grateful that Rev Jane Westerkamp re-posted your video. Since I've moved to Kaua`i, I've been somewhat out of touch with your career and life in general. (We actually have met in SD a couple times.) Thank you for the passion and energy devoted to making this powerful, sensitive video.Although this project began in 2010, as we know, the scenario hasn't changed- except perhaps to increase the disparity of the "have/ have not" in our culture. Faith is good, but it takes greater Awareness & Action to "be the change we want to see". Thanks again for the Love in Action that helps raise the awareness. Bless you for your strength and commitment to Life! <3

Congratulations, Danielle and Alicia! You are both beautiful and such an inspiration to those who know you. What a fabulous and amazing video. I'm pretty sure Kevin and I were there watching the part shot at SDIF last year.

This is really really great guys. Have to admit, it's the first time I've finally been able to see a full performance and video. Danielle's voice just brings out so much emotion in me, and I don't even know her! The song is so powerful. The whole thing is just incredible. Congratulations and well done!
