ATTENTION ATTENTION is a visual journey
that brings to life the story of Shinedown’s
acclaimed chart-topping album, their sixth
full-length, which has accumulated more than
622 million global streams, debuted Top 5
on the Billboard 200, simultaneously hit #1
on Billboard’s Alternative, Top Rock and
Hard Rock Albums Charts, and led to five
iHeart Radio Music Award nominations. From life’s lowest lows to the highest highs,
what emerges from the forthcoming film is a powerful and enduring statement about
humanity, overcoming struggle, the importance of mental health, not being afraid to fail,
and the resolve of the human spirit. This stunning sonic and visual work of art was
directed by Bill Yukich (Beyoncé, Metallica, Wiz Khalifa) and features theatrical
performances from the band, Melora Walters (Magnolia, Big Love, PEN15), and Francesca
Eastwood (Old, Twin Peaks, Fargo), among others.
“Miles Davis once said ‘If you’re gonna tell a story, tell it with some attitude.’ That is
precisely what the film ATTENTION ATTENTION does,” shares front man Brent Smith. “A
mind-bending free fall into the human psyche. A visual journey through the eyes of multiple
characters, scenarios, and complex situations. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!!!”
“Visualizing each song from this amazing album, ATTENTION ATTENTION the film is a
journey through the minds of its characters,” adds Yukich. “What starts as many stories
ultimately becomes one story, one message, as the paths of each character converge.”
