Empty Highways – Antique Loft

Working alongside Nate Jefferies, genius behind the music project known as “Antique Loft,” I wrote, produced, and directed this music video. Unlike most music videos, Empty Highways tells a narrative story that follows the theme and lyrics of the song. Watch this beautiful story of heartbreak, independence, and a girl finding her voice in a time where it feels hoarse.

Production

Producing the Music Video for Empty Highways was a struggle in many ways, and really pushed me as a filmmaker.

Since the song has such a beautiful story, we wanted to carry that into the music video. Working alongside Nate, we wrote a script that we felt captured the story, and enhanced the themes portrayed in the song. Our actor, Erin, was absolutely incredible, and help us tell this story exactly the way we saw it.

Working with an incredibly limited budget, we had a very small crew, mostly made up of me and Antique Loft, and other friends. We had very limited funds for gear as well. To counter this issue, we filmed mainly in the evening, when the light was soft and colorful, and extremely planned out shots at night.
