Get to know the filmmaker:
Beebo and I have both been into music videos that tell a visual story that amplifies the message to the song. So we chose Dirt Don’t Hurt from her EP and started to brainstorm who the character is in this story and what her arc would be as she goes from being a timid young lady to a confident and bold woman. We wanted to pull nostalgic elements by setting the locations in a 1950’s style diner, in an early 2,000’s photo studio, and also choosing different mediums like 16 mm film for the flashback scene to give it that subtle texture to the experience of the story.
