Nilo Blues - I Can’t I Won’t
09–15-2021



Facts:
  • One of Nathans favourite movies is La Haine, which is why we had the poster in the hallway.
  • Our craft order was lost so one of our PA’s (a former subway employee) shut down a Subway, and got behind the counter and made all the subs for our cast and crew with one of the employees.
  • Everyone at the poker table is a close relative of Nilo, besides the dealer.


︎ Co-Producer
︎ Assistant Director

Client: Nilo Blues

Up and coming Toronto artist, Nilo Blues, reached out to my partner and I directly to produce and direct a music video for his song “i can’t, i won’t”. Nilo was open to all ideas from Director Nathan Lau, so we went to the drawing board. We conceptualized the story of two lovers sharing a traumatic past. Considering the limited budget we were given, we had to get creative. To limit our spending costs the video was shot at one location, which ended up being this house I visited only a month before the shoot. We also used our Toronto network to hire local models as our extras in the party scene to cut costs.
