YES, There Is An Oklahoma Connection!

Jim Carrey’s most recent project Yes Man is about a man whose life is completely altered when he attends a self-help program that changes his answer to everything- “Yes.” Only being able to say “yes” allows Carrey’s character on an adventure of a lifetime. And yes, there is an Oklahoma connection.

Yes Man features Oklahoma native Jillian Iva and her band Von Iva. The Bethany native leads the electro-punk trio with vocals and includes members Rebecca Kupersmith on keyboards and Kelly Harris on drums. Von Iva appears in the movie as the backup fictitious band members in indie-rock group Munchausen By Proxy, which is fronted by co-star Zooey Deschanel.

Von Iva not only appears in the movie, but they also wrote four of the songs on the Yes Man soundtrack, including the theme song “Yes Man,” which plays at the end of the film as the credits roll. The soundtrack is now available in stores.

Catch Yes Man starting Friday December 19, showing in theatres nationwide. Also, check out Von Iva on their “Hell on Heels” tour throughout the country.
