THURSTON AS RECORDING ARTIST
Thurston Watts and John Michael Ferrari were the lead vocalists on the song, “Yip Chant,”
on the sound track of the Palacio Production short independent film, “Sufferer,” a parody of “Survivor.”
“Sufferer” is a sharp and hilarious swipe of the TV phenomenon “Survivor”
and a sendup of reality TV as a whole.
“Sufferer” was directed by John Robert Palacio and written and produced by Palacio and Elias Stimac,
and features a talented cast.
Original score by John Michael Ferrari.
Pepper Jay Musical Producer.
Running time: 15 minutes 15 seconds.
