Klein and Taylor Thoroski, SEASON TWO
July 25, 2024 - August 14, 2024
Season two is a Catfish-inspired documentary masked as a music video directed by Klein and Taylor Thoroski.
Pulling from the famous ‘Nella Rose’ style grwm format, they poke fun at conspiracy theories and underlying traditional values whilst utilizing techniques such as remote sensing blended with organized staged performance, poignant iconography and the repurposing of sound to transform this film into a true MTV moment. The video acts as a link to the past and present, highlighting the real dance heroes of Los Angeles and the physical and digital land black folks fight to preserve.
