Director Statement

Find A Way is a song about pursuing an answer and quenching the desire for change. It's about forcing yourself to overcome difficulties and make a move to better your situation.

For the Find A Way music video, I wanted to focus on the emotions right before you make a radical change. The pressure, anxiety, and rising heartbeat when you know you are on the threshold of making a decision that is about to drastically change your future.

The other emotional element that was calling out to me was isolation. I felt the song played lightly on the thoughts and feelings of the isolation and frustration of Covid and how that affected us. I thought of the paranoia, of being stuck in one place, losing sleep, being on edge, and living with the same people day in and day out. Being locked in a room, wanting to break out and return to normal but being terrified to find out what's out there, forcing yourself to find the nerve to step through the door.

That's what Find A Way is for me. An ode to the struggles we individually go through and the courage we find to propel ourselves through the door and face whatever lays ahead.
