This project actually started out as a short film for a University of Minnesota film student — I was brought on to direct a story about a man battling with drugs and keeping the love of his life. Halfway through production, the two leads of the film had a massive falling out (though awful in the moment, this experience made for a great story) and the final version of the film was scrapped.
With all this raw footage, I decided to lay the visuals down over a song I loved — I chose Placebo’s “Special Needs” as the song is a favorite of mine and the words fit well with the visuals. It turned out well considering everything shot was not at all intended for this purpose.
