The dynamic creative duo behind popular new series UnTrue Crime, are set to captivate audiences once again when their music video hits YouTube on December 16.

YouTube sensations ArtSpear Entertainment, whose audience totals over 2.93 million followers, created an original comedy song ‘Stop Calling Us Pigs’ in collaboration with a star-studded cast and crew.

ArtSpear Entertainment co-owner and producer Rita Artmann says fans of UnTrue Crime will be delighted to learn that the music video is an extension of the series and will air following the finale.

“Creating the music video was a lot of fun and it was the perfect opportunity to expand the storytelling universe of UnTrue Crime, which we really enjoyed making,” says Ms Artmann.

“The track features in the series and I believe it’s something fans will thoroughly enjoy.

“In addition to YouTube, the music will also be made available on iTunes and Spotify on December 16.”

Written by ArtSpear Entertainment co-owner and director Joe Bauer and performed and produced by both Bauer and Ms Artmann, the music video boasts an ensemble of talented collaborators including musicians Tom Wilson and Chelsea Manor’s Bianca Hendy and Michael Collins.

Backed by Screen Australia and YouTube’s highly coveted Skip Ahead initiative, ArtSpear Entertainment’s new true crime mockumentary series UnTrue Crime has racked up thousands of views.

The first episode of UnTrue Crime premiered on November 4th, with five episodes airing weekly on ArtSpear Entertainment’s YouTube channel, which has amassed over 600 million views.

Joe Bauer takes the helm as both writer and director on UnTrue Crime, while Rita Artmann takes charge as writer and producer.

Mr Bauer says the six-part parody UnTrue Crime follows woefully incompetent Detectives Spoink (Artmann) and Hoggman (Bauer) through a dysfunctional investigation where the primary suspect changes every episode.

“The series is a comical exploration of true crime, and it has resonated really well with audiences,” says Mr Bauer.

“UnTrue Crime sees Detectives Spoink and Hoggman retrace their stumbling footsteps through an investigation into a classic murder scenario and it’s a question of how many times they get wrong, before they accidentally get it right.”

Alongside ArtSpear’s creative duo Rita Artmann and Joe Bauer, UnTrue Crime includes renowned comedy creator and influencer Lyanna Kea and acclaimed composer Amara Primero, known for her work on the Murder of Lyn Dawson, Ivan Milat Buried Secrets and the disappearance of William Tyrrell.
