“Shadow river got me rolling up again thoughts heavy on my mind...”

NAMI Shadow River Music Video


Music lets us share things that are hard to talk about. One of those difficult topics is mental illness.
Shadow River by Boola ft. Jeni Fujita is one of the songs in the #IWILLLISTEN album meant to break the stigma of mental illness.

The task was to create a music video that would bring a song about living with a mental illness to life in a piece of film that could be both emotive and visually expressive. From concept, shooting to editing, I was part of every aspect of this project. Below is the final product.
