After Smoke Clears "The Crusher" Music Video

  • Toby Anthonisz

A poetic, atypical music video for groove metal band "After Smoke Clears". This super low-budget music video was my 2nd time independently producing. Working with a ballet-trained dancer, Ola Awosika and Krump rising star, Theophillus ‘Godson’ Oloyade, I enabled the vision of the director to create a subversion of genre stereotypes. Drawing from the singer's lyrics, the film focuses on the taboo of male depression and mental health awareness through dance and symbolism. Directed by Charli Whatley and shot by Alasdair Boyce.
