Broken Wing
This is a live action music video for the song "Broken Wing" by Warren Givens. American Songwriter premiered Broken Wing, praising Givens’ tried and true approach of “making good music for people to dig—after that, let the chips fall where they may,” and The Bitter Southerner praised, “this song feels really right—for right now.”
Filmed entirely on location at a prop house in Savannah, GA, Broken Wing features five elaborate sets. Designed and built from the ground up, each set reflects the wide relatability of the songs lyrics. Taking tonal inspiration from Wes Anderson, this video perfectly encapsulates the thoughtfully wandering tune.
