Cavern
"Cavern," the first music video from electronic artist Graffick, features dance, sand, sun, and sea as a means to tell the story of how we, as individuals and as a community, can beat the cycle of trauma and transcend it through our evolved strength, resilience, and compassion.
Starring Charlie Fierro and directed by Brendan Cleak and Caryn Sandoval of One Apparatus, this indie music video expresses the relationship between emotional and physical trauma through the lens of feminine strength, and the ancient omnipresence of the sun. The dancer uses the space around her to shift and grow as time puts space between her pain and her future.
"Cavern" was filmed in San Diego and the deserts of Southeastern California.

Graduates of UC Santa Cruz Film & Digital Media program in 2010, Brendan Cleak & Caryn Sandoval have spent the last 8 years studying, practicing, and cultivating their love of light and depth in all moments and things. As artists, they're interested in exposing the subjective stories inherent to every frame and seek opportunities in daily life to identify and express the many hidden perspectives and convergences of reality.
In 2018, they formed One Apparatus, a production studio born from the idea that the lens, the human interface, and their passionate teamwork are one functioning apparatus through repetition and love.
