“We had the great pleasure of working closely with an incredible director, Marta Dymek on this video.”
“It was somewhat of a serendipitous pairing between the song and Marta’s concept, which she had brewing for a while, waiting for the right opportunity. I’d been a longtime friend and fan of Marta’s work for years and one day we got to catching up. I shot her the rough mixes of our EP back before it had been released. Then we had a moment that went approximately like:
Marta: Dude, The Salt. MUSIC VIDEO.
Me: Dude, YES.
Graceful, I know. And then we went straight into caffeine-induced, full fledged brainstorm mode on how we could make it happen. We made a crowdfund and presold the album to push the video as far as we could go. We had such humbling support from the community, friends, and local artists volunteering talent toward helping us to make it happen. I can’t even begin to explain how grateful I am.
We never went into it, but mutually understood, we wanted to tell a story of passing on the burden of solitude to fill a life with something greater, in the most hopeful sense.”
