GOT THEM HOOKED MV
We shot GTH back in October 2024. The MV premiered back in June of this year in Toronto, Canada. It’s still surreal that GTH was shown on the opposite side of the world.
It was shot with a minimal budget by a very small crew and a group of extras. This time, our shoot went pretty smooth. I have great memories of all the mosh scenes where we ended up just playing FEIN! to hype everyone up lol.
I was heavily inspired from films such as Oppenheimer, Chungking Express, Requiem for a Dream and Talk To Me. I’ve added some references.
Special thanks to @videobygabs & @clatoons , the crew and all the extras for volunteering their time and effort to help me bring my vision to the screen. I am truly grateful.
GTH was one of the first songs I ever thought of. I have a voice memo of the chorus melody dated 15/11/2018 (wayyyy before Fall Back Down). Throughout the years I went through multiple iterations of the song so yeah it only took me bout 7 years to release it…
I want to say thank you for listening and watching the MV. It really means the world to me.
I’ll see you all in 2026.

FASTEN YOUR BELTS MV
We shot FYB all the way back on 8 January 2024. I was 21 at the time, days before leaving for America on exchange for 4 months. Now I’m 23.
We shot this on no budget besides the funds in my bank account and the passion and drive from our small crew.
Prior to shoot day, we forgot to ring up the local police station and we found ourselves confronted with the Public Order and Riot Squad about an hour in.
We had neglected the fact that Silverwater Jail was just a couple of streets away from us. Nonetheless, we continued with the shoot despite challenges such as our first location cancelling on us ON THE DAY and the rain.
In hindsight, it probably wasn’t the best decision to plan in the December holiday period and shoot just before leaving for America. All of the shoot issues were related to a lack of preparation BUT everything worked out and now I have a pretty funny story to tell the grandkids.
I took inspiration from films such as Reservoir Dogs, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction and Se7en with a touch of my style. You can see the references in each of the slides.
If you haven’t seen the MV yet I would appreciate it if you give it a watch :)
Thank you to all my cast & crew, sorry for almost getting us arrested :p
Much love for all the support on FYB so far. You won’t have to wait as long for the next one.
