Chris Carthern Drops Music Video for “Mr Run Through Ya Girlfriend,” Official Soundtrack to Award-Winning A-Train Fan Film

Atlanta-born artist, producer and director champions diversity in the entertainment industry.

Seattle, WA  November 12, 2024 — Award-winning producer, artist, and cosplayer Chris Carthern brings A-Train to life with his latest music video release, Mr Run Through Ya Girlfriend. This dynamic track, now available on YouTube and streaming platforms, is the centerpiece of the A-Train: New Beginnings fan film soundtrack, a project that has already captivated audiences, fans of The Boys TV sereis and critics alike.

With its high-energy beat and lyrics capturing the essence of A-Train, a character from The Boys on Amazon Prime, Mr Run Through Ya Girlfriend is produced by Q Tha Producer and King Wizard, featuring Carthern’s distinctive voice. Created by Shots by Shinobi Productions, this single stands out as a unique blend of hip-hop and cinematic storytelling, supported by the video’s high-quality production, which was shot by Tone the Goat and edited by Carthern himself.

The A-Train: New Beginnings fan film has been widely recognized for its original music and creative concept, winning accolades at prestigious film festivals worldwide. Recent awards include Best Indie Short Film and Audience Choice Award at Mokkho International Film Festival, Best Indie Short Film at Triloka International Filmfare Awards, Best Music Video at the Mokkho International Film Festival, the Indo French International Film Festival, and the Parai Musical International Awards, as well as Best Hip Hop Music Video at the Cuckoo International Film Awards. Mr Run Through Ya Girlfriend has also been an official selection at notable festivals like the Oniros Film Festival and the Cineplay International Film Festival.

Carthern, the founder of Shots by Shinobi Productions, is known for his diverse talents in music and film. Originally from Atlanta, Carthern’s influences include Atlanta legends Outkast and Goodie Mob. With over 18 years in the music industry, he formed Shots by Shinobi Productions to amplify underrepresented voices and create inclusive opportunities within entertainment. In addition to his music and video production work, Carthern is an executive producer at Cutting Edge Animation, further expanding his impact across multiple media.
