It is as if every frame is a gorgeous painting illustrated with the brushstrokes of clever humor. Shannon’s gift for comedic timing is the engine of this sharply witty spot, moving us down the ever-stretching table and weaving hilarious details in every frame.

Decorated in an American flag motif, western iconography, and a rural countryside, the vivid visual storytelling of Chris Chuky's “Problem, Yeah I know" music video for Kelvyn Colt subverts an Americana aesthetic to unravel its tale of an antagonistic relationship. As Colt’s song bemoans his self-destructive passivity, seemingly within a romance, the visual world of the music video flashes between hostility and camaraderie along a cowboy farmland, a tv tower cell, and a lily pad framed fishing boat. Refracted through the provocative symbolism of the music video, the song's narrative takes on a different meaning, exploring the emotional experience of exploitation within a toxic relationship. Colt’s stoic, confident performance as he sings his song, a vulnerable, confessional piece, invites us to further explore the layers of possible meanings within and interpretations of the "Problem, Yeah I Know" lyrics.

With performance that holds stories in expressions, a soundscape that immerses us in the rush of cityscape and the peace of home, and a narrative crafted around a transformative arc, Rodney Passé unfolds this cinematic story of a metamorphosis. The bleating of car horns and the grumble of engines in traffic’s daily procession submerge us in Marion’s ordinary life. Our story begins in the bustling of citylife, juxtaposed with the wonder-filled poetry of Marion’s dreams of a shift, “I think I’m ready to leave the city.” Her inner dialogue is manifest as the narrator of this tale of transformation. The visual language of our story seems to immerse us in Marion’s worth, capturing city life through her disillusioned eyes. And then, opportunity marks a turning point. Marion’s dreams come to life across the screen. With the narrative’s volta, the visual story’s tone shifts from a muted, monotonous business to the warm nook of a bookstore celebration and the sunlit oasis of a new work station. A finale painted in joyful warm tones, we conclude this story seeming, through the radiant work of every element of visual storytelling, how Marian’s new opportunity changed her life entirely. #tranformation #cinema #rodneypasse #eleanor

It is time, darling, to take the ashy hand of the macabre and uncanny in a grisly dance. Enter an unearthly, visually premium realm at the meeting of worlds, where the dead live, drink, and sway to the melancholic piano of their own haunting dirge. Feel an eerie mood seep into your very marrow as you watch the chilling performance of this film’s undead heroine, haunting us with an unsettling stare and contorting her body in an uncanny choreomania. Written, directed, and composed by Nicolás Uboldi, this cinematic ghost story is told in a visual language enchanted by the nostalgic beauty of vintage textures and the moody ambience of bold hues swathed in dim light. This vivid visual poem appeals to all our senses–the cracking rip of wood scratches our ears, we feel the sweltering heat that pools in the room upon our sweat-glistened skin, we smell death’s rank perfume as it tangles with the scent of white funeral bouquets. #film #director #visualstorytelling https://lnkd.in/g6uTvqFs
