And so, after ten weeks of writing and running around to try and get this project together; here it is!

This is a music video based on a photobook I put together 4 years ago. The script is loosely based off the city in the book, “Fairview Heights” and the seedy characters within it. The city/state if run by corrupt politicians who steal from the poor and build up the rich, never building up the poor. And one day, one of the poorer people in the city must find a way out and decides to do dirty work for these politicians.
