Ken at the Hong Kong Inn The Olivera Clan Sarah Wielusz And Cinema Cypher for hooking us up with free lights & a fogger! ------------------------------------------ Video concept/background: After hearing “Shadows” on Pandora, Brad reached out to John via e- mail back in 2016. The two began a correspondence and eventually the right idea with the right track came to fruition on “Jealous.” Inspired by the photography of Gregory Crewdson & Philip-Lorca diCorcia, vintage Ventura, and life in the suburbs... “Jealous” portraits the falling apart of a man in the aftermath of a relationship. Often times one can feel stuck in rumination, which carries with it a very lonely, isolated side effect. The film balances two approaches... the static study of isolation contrasted with a dizzying handheld series of intimacy. By all means, the character in the film is stuck by his own doing, with the drinking throughout serving as a metaphor of escapism. Until a change arises,he will remain in limbo. At times this depression can feel like a “performance,” as well, which is why we wanted to give him a microphone throughout. We decided to end on a string of hope, beachside on the Ocean as he puts the microphone down at last... perhaps a change on the horizon. The film was lensed by local DP Taylor Russ and was produced by Brad Bischoff & Alex Hidalgo of Club Paradise, LLC.

It don't make no sense to play innocent To play like your shadow I guess anything goes since you're not around I start believing that your troubles I guess anything goes when you're far away I don't need your sorrows I don't want you to go I don't want you to go I don't want you to go I don't want you to go
