Brendan Barnard is a Toronto-based director and editor. As a young, up-and-coming director, Brendan brings a different angle to every project he approaches. He received a Canadian Cinema Editor’s student merit award in 2019, as well as the OCAA Marketing Best Video Award for his spot “No Shortcuts, No Excuses”. Recently Brendan received the MVP Prism Prize grant from RBCxMusic and The Canadian Academy of Film & Television. He has worked with some of the city's top music labels directing projects garnering 30m+ views. Whether it’s a commercial spot, narrative or a music video, Brendan focuses on the rawness and integrates feeling with an uncanny ability to tug at the heart.
While thinking of a concept for Run For Cover, I came across a quote in Boogey’s Bio that read “It’s important to not forget that at one time it was illegal for us to sing these songs, play these drums, and go to these ceremonies.” I knew right away after reading that, that I wanted to create a narrative that revolved around this idea of creating and showcasing music even though it’s strictly forbidden and enforced by law. A really gritty and underground-type video. I wanted it to be this linear narrative but to also leave some room for interpretation.
