ZHP Video for NWT from Scott Howe on Vimeo.

The Zoo Human Project's first music video won top honors at the 11th Annual Sacramento International Film & Music Festival, held at the Crest Theater. The video, directed by Scott Howe, premiered as part of the "Sac Music Seen" program on the second night of the festival and beat out 11 other music videos to take home the honor of "Best of Program."

With their third album set for a December release, The Zoo Human Project teamed up with Silverlined Entertainment's Scott Howe and Angela Ortner, back in May, 2010 to produce this first-time music video for their hit single "NWT."

THE ZOO HUMAN PROJECT (ZHP) is comprised of three friends: Derek Martinez, Jen Cordero, and Kevin Sakamoto. Formed in Los Angeles, they decided to quit their full-time jobs and tour nationally to promote their first album, "Innominata" (released 2006). Much to their delight, they made it back to California with enough cash to fund their second album, "Naissance" (released 2007).

The "Sac Music Seen" program, for local filmmakers, is in its seventh year, and encourages and supports community engagement.

"Sac Music Seen" is a program that matches local filmmakers to local musicians to make original music videos, with almost 150 completed projects to date.
