FORT WORTH, Texas, July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Musicbed today announced plans to release "MAKE," a feature-length documentary film that explores the motivation behind a creative life and what drives artists to create.

Working with both filmmakers and musicians, Musicbed has seen firsthand the traps that artists can fall into when they're driven by something other than their passion to create. "MAKE" looks at the hearts, minds, successes and failures of creators with a cast of visionary artists, designers, filmmakers and musicians answering deeply personal questions about their creative lives. While this is not the first documentary about creativity, "MAKE" aims to go deeper and get more personal about how an artist's identity in what they make is affected when their ego gets in the way.

"It's so easy to be blinded by dollars, followers and awards," said Daniel McCarthy, the film's executive producer and the founder and CEO of Musicbed. "It's a pitfall that is more evident in today's culture than ever before, but it's also an issue as old as time itself. Instead of asking 'what', we as artists need to be asking 'why'. Our hope is that MAKE will force creatives to question their motives and find a more freeing and healthier vision of what it means to be an artist."

A follow up to multiple critically acclaimed short films and Vimeo Staff Picks, "MAKE" is the Musicbed team's first feature-length film, which the company has produced over the last two years.

Quotes From The Film:

"I can be a director and a leader, and someone trying to help a brand. I can come out here to my studio and paint a painting that no one sees. For me, it all has value." - Eliot Rausch, filmmaker

"It's much more interesting to talk about the grey area of things than it is to talk about what you've decided is right." - Amelia Meath, Sylvan Esso

"My dad told me when I was very young, 'No one is going to give you the power. You have to take the power." - Reed Morano, ASC

"If no one ever looked, I'd still be making cool shit with my buddies. You know what I mean? That's as honest as I can be. Before anyone was interested, that's what I was doing. I had a great life." - Aaron Draplin, graphic designer
