“Guess We Got A Problem” By Enda Gallery
Synopsis
We go through so many traumatic experiences in our lives, some we don’t even realize how they affect us on a subconscious level. We might suppress feelings we don’t want to deal with to preserve our innocence, but eventually we have to grow up and accept the new reality.
Directors statement
The goal of this project was to explore how we carry trauma unknowingly with us throughout life, through expression of dance and art house. In a way it's the well-known coming of age story. This was the core idea we explored. How perhaps what makes us older, is not the years that go by but the experiences we go through in life. If this concept was taken to a more extreme, than a traumatic experience will rob someone of their childhood innocence. Through movement and abstract scenes, we wanted to capture that acknowledgment and acceptance of that traumatic experience that leads to the main character's liberation. Liberation from aspirations, naivety and overall optimistic outlook on life.
This project means a lot to me, as every moment of the making of this project seemed to be guided by faith. From getting in contact with Enda the artist to finding the location for the shoot. Everything just seemed to flow very organically. On top of that, everyone who was involved in this music video put so much time and effort into the project, I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help bring this project to life, so I am super grateful.
