Anyhow Reel.
Koda’s White Dove music video was tasked with exploring a complexity of an inescapable toxic relationship. After a few conversations with Koda, the raw, stare-you-in-the-face honesty of Vito Acconci’s performance work kept coming to mind, at least his performative explorations of the darker elements of love. In collaborating, we wanted to fuse that textural performance work with something more dream-like and ethereal. We found our setting in Morro Bay, California. The sunrise over the dunes there had the openness and built-in sense of release that we were looking for — the way Koda found respite through music and ultimately the strength to walk away.

The Quiet Life is the passion project of highly regarded designer Andy Mueller of Girl Skateboard and Lakai Shoes fame. It was shot lightning fast in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles over 2 days. The film swirls through memories of a lost relationship, but we wanted to create a certain nonchalance in the loss. The film came together through the capable efforts of Anyhow partner and editor Benton Africano, VFX designer John Price, and the extremely rich musical stylings of composer Jordan Sudak.

The Nothing But Love music video was a turning point for The Bloody Beetroots brand. They wanted something more cinematic and moody than their other videos. The track is a collaboration with Rival Sons frontman, Jay Buchanan, and expresses a longing for love and the heartbreak of finding out it was never there. We wanted to make Jay’s hunt for an answer visual in a striking way and play out the emotions subtly, never falling into melodrama — letting the song carry the tone.

△ is a music video concept that peers in at artists as products. It’s a sublime glance at sponsorship. All the elements of glamor are there, but it needed to feel empty and raw at the same time. For that reason, we wanted the “behind the scenes” footage to feel more dreamy than the product shots themselves by incorporating VHS footage into each scenario.
