Director Statement

Very rarely do you get an opportunity to work on something with a group of friends that just falls into place so effortlessly. The NBHD video for Pretty Boy feels like the culmination of conversations that Chip Chrome (Jesse Rutherford) and I had been kicking back and forth for a while. The ideas present in this video stewed for almost a year until we found an outlet... or at least the first outlet. I’m eternally grateful to everyone who was a part of this, you’re only as good as your entire crew (we made this with 9 people including talent). Jesse trusted me with his vulnerability and it shows, Chip can act!!!! I honestly haven’t felt this excited in a while, thank you for letting me get lost in something.
