Experiencing Interruptions?

TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN

The Artist versus The Influencer. The side that creates out of passion versus the sides that will do whatever it takes to be successful. As an independent musician, you don’t have a choice but to be both, but what happens when the two sides reach their breaking point? “TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN” is the finale chapter in Ben Schuller’s five-part visual album of the same name. It explores the dichotomy of being a creative in the era of social media and the internet. The story follows The Artist desperately trying to escape what The Influencer has turned them into. However, it becomes clear that in order to take back control, he’ll have to face his polar opposite head on.

Director Biography - Ben Schuller

Ben Schuller is an independent recording artist, writer and director, who got his filmmaking start over a decade ago making low budget music videos. As Ben's profile as a musician rose, so did his passion for cinematic storytelling. His first visual album, 2021's "New Roaring 20s", showed Ben's knack for crafting cohesive concept albums in a way that independent singer/songwriters rarely do. With each project bigger than the next, Ben hopes to carve his own path in the world of film.
