Buried Alive video and song now on streaming. Feelings below ⬇️ 
🥲 Getting back to directing and shaping the cinematography for this video was really a rewarding return for me. When i write music, i always think in pictures and either reference old movies by name, or try world building like all the great storytellers before me. Film provides me a platform to translate my creative vision into a tangible, immersive experience, while also capturing the grandeur of the cosmos. Throughout this project, I’ve been using film as a translator for some of the heavier or more fantastical themes in my lyrics. Directing actors and all the different departments to come up with a cohesive project at the end is a great responsibility, but what i really enjoy is cinematography. Framing, composition and LIGHTING is where the story gets told for me. Its as much about whats not included in the frame as what is: darkness and asymmetry are as important as light and balance. Im building my own aesthetic. Auteurs like Wes Anderson, Spike Lee and now Quentin Tarantino and George Lucas have greatly influenced my eye as a director and DP while also providing me a medium that allows these conversations about of liberation and catharsis to speak loudly. Thank you for the opportunity to tell my own story.
