WatchGreat music video for the track BLACK AND WHITE TOWN by DOVES. Great aesthetic…I’m hoping to achieve a similar look for the feature length version of SUHA. Enjoy!

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?
So a few weeks ago I ventured back to the famous T.A. wall in order to shoot some photos that I required for a montage sequence in my film SUHA.
