Linkin Park: The Making of "Minutes to Midnight"

For years, Santa Barbara filmmaker Mark Fiore has been working with Linkin Park to bring you exclusive video content from behind the scenes. Mark spent time in the studio with the band during the making of Minutes to Midnight and later produced a documentary capturing the experience. For those of you in the Santa Barbara area, we recommend that you check out the Santa Barbara International Film Festival to catch this documentary, plus a screening of “Given Up” (also directed by Mark) and “The Seed” directed by Joe Hahn.

Following the screening Mark, Joe, and Phoenix, will lead a discussion about music and film!

A chance to visit Linkin Park in the studio

Linkin Park’s non-profit organization, Music for Relief has teamed up with the site SocialVibe.com to help those struggling following a food crisis and four hurricanes in Haiti. For this MFR initiative every Linkin Park fan is going to be able to help out and be involved. If you are reading this, than that means you have a MySpace profile and that’s all you need to help out and have a chance to meet members of Linkin Park.

Here’s what we are asking you to do. Go to www.SocialVibe.com/musicforrelief and add SocialVibe to your MySpace, Facebook, blog, and all online profiles you use. Every time someone views your page, you will be earning donations for Music for Reliefs work in Haiti.

The member who invites the most friends to join SocialVibe.com will win a trip to Los Angeles to hang out with members of Linkin Park in the studio as they record their newest album!
