Decadeless

A true story of love and consequence. The album film. In my own life I’ve notice a strong theme of learned love, and confusing pain for comfort. Often being stuck in a cycle of my own making. This film is a visual representation about realizing that healing isn’t a fix you find, it’s a shift in perspective. I wanted to honor the moments that shaped me and the fans who walk through similar shadows. The immense amount of courage it takes to jump, to break the pattern, to choose something better, and to understand that the jump is the only way anything ever changes.

A visual essay revealing social inequality as the silent sickness of COVID-19 lockdown America. To highlight the disconnect between the fantasy of Los Angeles and the lived reality for many of its citizens, a computerized voice gives a dispassionate monologue over imagery that explores the truth of a city after the tourists, luxury stores and entertainment are removed from the streets. Through silent vignettes, the film leaves us with images of homelessness, and comments on the shallowness of capitalism and the hypocrisy of multiculturalism.
