Back on set directing a rock music video for Zachariah Smith’s single, “Blue Building.” It was an honor to work along side my friends and long time collaborators Zach, Taylor and Saidah, who helped me put this all together. Zach wrote and incredible song and came to me with a very imaginative concept that I spent months brainstorming in my head and fleshing out in reality. This project was filmed over 2 days in Brooklyn, New York. We were able to create a low-budget, trippy and experimental narrative along with a unique aesthetic for a musical performance. This was one of my first experiences thinking about set design, costumes, makeup, and scouting locations to help enhance the storytelling. It was also an honor to work with Matt behind-the scenes, as well as with Madeleine and Leah, who are just spectacular actors! You can watch the music video below.
