Dragonfly Energy, Jeremy Renner Partner on Music Video – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
RENO, Nev. – Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: DFLI), an industry leader in energy storage and maker of Battle Born Batteries, spearheaded a collaboration that brought together innovation, music and the imagination of youth to write, record and premiere an original song and music video, according to a press release.
Imagine: A Musical Collaboration with Jeremy Renner, is the result of two days of songwriting, recording, production and filming and premiered at Artown, a 31-day celebration held annually in Reno, Nevada, and the largest arts and culture festival in the western U.S. The project was hosted by Dragonfly Energy, which supports the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus as they move toward sustainability by providing the nontoxic lithium Battle Born Batteries that power the mobile recording studio.
Six talented youth from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada joined the team from The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus and worked alongside actor, musician and founder of the RennerVation Foundation, Jeremy Renner, to complete the project.
“Music is a unifying and personal experience, and it’s meant to be shared,” Renner said. “I’m thrilled to be part of this project and this community and to have the opportunity to make a difference in kids’ lives. The RennerVation Foundation emerged from the Rennervations show filmed here, with the goal of being more effective and providing every opportunity to foster and at-risk youth. This project has achieved that. Everyone involved is a strong supporter of this community, so it’s wonderful to be a part of it.”
Brian Rothschild, co-founder of the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, said, “It’s been an incredible couple of days here in Reno, working with the youth, Jeremy Renner, and the community. We do projects all over the country and this one was special to shine a light on the youth in such a big way and give them a stage and opportunity to be involved in something bigger than they can imagine. That’s what it’s about. We’re thrilled to be here and partner with Dragonfly Energy, The RennerVation Foundation and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada on this collaboration.”
The Lennon Bus, a nonprofit mobile recording facility that provides hands-on experiences for students of all ages, was transitioned to lithium power, bringing a new level of sustainability, cost-savings, and improved mobility and experience with additional runtime using batteries, plus extended runtime with the availability of solar power thanks to Battle Born Batteries and Dragonfly Energy.
“There are a few projects that go beyond the business side of what we do, and this is definitely one,” said Tyler Bourns, chief marketing officer for Dragonfly Energy. “We see this as our gift to the community and an opportunity to celebrate and cheer for our youth while at the same time helping a worthwhile nonprofit move toward sustainability. We hope this project has an impact beyond those involved, and together, our community can continue to encourage young minds that they can do anything.”
