Here at CHECK 15, our goal is to create a Monthly Cancer Awareness Day. On the 15th day of every month, we'll be hitting the internet with a reminder to break down barriers around the cancer conversation (with a healthy dose of humor). This month, we turn Michael Jackson's classic music video for “THRILLER“ into a cancer survival anthem. Directed by KYLE R. SMITH Produced by VICKY CHAN Written by KYLE R. SMITH Original Story by JOHN LANDIS & MICHAEL JACKSON Starring ADRIAN MITCHELL Co-starring SHANNON JOY RODGERS Director of Photography MIKE STANISLAWSKI Based on Choreography by MICHAEL PETERS & MICHAEL JACKSON Chorus Dancers VINCENT ALBO, BRIANA BYRD, VICKY CHAN, JEFF ELSTER, ASHLEY HASENYAGER, TIM JACOBS, ELLY KUSHNER, MEGHAN MATHES, AMBERLEE MUCHA, MACKENZIE PEYKOV & DAVE SINGLETON “CANCER“ Performed by ADRIAN MITCHELL Based on “THRILLER“ by MICHAEL JACKSON & ROD TEMPERTON Written by KYLE R.
