Surf India Music Video by Deadbeat Darling

Here’s another collaboration with WEBBY Nominated director, Adam Hootnick of Resonance Pictures.  This is a art/fantasy music video all done in black and white by the awesome rock band, Deadbeat Darling.  I was a consultant on casting and did choreo/movement staging for all the models in this video.  We shot the majority of the video in an actual freaky old funeral home in Brooklyn.  I have a cameo, the principal blonde girl is one of my good friends who is also a dancer, and you will also see a Jazz Ain’t Dead dancer as a principal actor.  Enjoy!

 


Yes, these are real people in the walls.  These ladies were the wardrobe stylists hired on set!
