Experiencing Interruptions?

TOWARDS THE HILL

An English singer-songwriter in Barcelona in the middle of the creative process in some recording studios. Working hard for the soundtrack of a feature film. The doubts, mistakes and nerves but also the perfectionism, perseverance and passion that are part of any creative adventure.

Black and white images that contrast with the colours of the city where the singer appears facing the sea, inside a modernist fountain and finally on top of the hill.

A metaphorical journey that begins inside a recording studio and heads towards the hill, the highest spot in Barcelona City.
