This film was conceived in the beginning of 2023. Baby played “The Beat Goes On,” and Izzy said right away, “We’re gonna do a video to this,” with Madonna, Ye & Pharrell greatly influencing us growing up, it made sense. Fast forward a month later, we were in Paris wearing these pieces (which was one of our best looks that week). We went to our new friend Said’s art show, met up with
@redhamedjellekh for crepes, and then walked across town to a Kiki ball. While we were on the train, I took a video of Izzy, and it went into our trip recap. It became a reference for this video, being on the go, in transit, constant motion, always hustling, always on a mission. We came back to New York, made up a rough draft of choreo at the Brooklyn zoo. This was around May when we were getting ready to shoot it, Izzy got sick, so we had to postpone.
Life goes on; we got through our daily routines, successes, and struggles, and planned to do it one more time in October, but Izzy got sick again :(. Since young, we’ve both had a very much “Beat Goes On” approach to life. You’re gonna plan things that fall through, have expectations that don’t get met, unexpected situations & disappointments. What you do after you encounter these obstacles is what ultimately shapes who you are. You can choose to be defined by creating your own stories, with your own style, whether it’s clothing, movement, or cinematography.
It’s beautiful to watch this all come together with the perfect team. There was so much chemistry & synchronicity during the shoot day between all of us. Each idea leveled up the next, and that is what keeps quality art alive.
