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!
