This is one of the videos that I seen freshman year at Bradley off of Vashties Blog, and it definitely inspired me to be a director-- Camera movements, story, beautiful imagery. Plus Mayer Hawthorne kicks ass, and this song is so true for a lot of people. Funny thing is last fall I went to his concert at the Darkroom (still wasn't 21), but I hustled my way in (had to explain to this very cute girl named Michelle or Mary something with an M and her friend that I wasn't 21 and had my bros id-- he was behind me in line-- and if I could cut with them). Surprisingly, they let me in and I got to meet him after his set. I told him I was an aspiring director and would love to do a video for him. Hawthorne being the sly nice guy said "yea yea-- do you have a reel?" I looked at him with slight disappointment and said "no, not yet.." He then handed me the signed heart shaped record that read "Jacob-Keep The Soul brotha", and gave me an email to hit up his people (which I lost)... Well Since then I've been on my grind doing these low budget vids to build my reel--meeting people etc etc. Well I'm still waiting to do that vid so Hawthorne hit me up and you can check out my reel now!
Film, Music, Inspiration, and my own work.
