PepperAnne: Music Video Direction

I directed this music video for DC punk band PepperAnne to reflect the track’s three-part structure, blending rawness, play, and intensity across visual shifts. To match the song’s rhythm and spirit, I used a mix of formats including black-and-white handheld footage and fisheye lens shots, creating a layered feel that leaned into punk’s roots while staying contemporary and fun.

We shot across DC and built low-budget set pieces using props, wardrobe, and lighting to anchor each section with its own visual identity. From movement to color to texture, every choice was designed to carry the viewer through the song’s evolving energy without breaking the flow. This was a straight-up directing project, high on creativity, low on resources, and all about making the vision land.
