A narrative music video for independent artist Kesmo's track "Misery," inspired by the iconic film Misery and serving as part of an interconnected video trilogy.
The Role
Co-developed the narrative concept with the artist and executed the entire production solo, managing cinematography, editing, and color grading.
The Vision
The video represents the artist's battle to remain authentic against a music industry driven by fake personas and sell-outs.
We chose a raw black-and-white look to reflect the brutal honesty of the track, introducing flashes of color whenever the artist receives physical or metaphorical blows.
The story reinforces the core theme: fighting with everything you have to keep your artistic identity alive.
