Play Pretend #1

In a social media driven world, our identities fracture into curated personas and digital avatars. What happens when every interaction becomes a performance? Are our relationships genuine, or merely reflections of reflections, trapped in loops dictated by prescriptive archetypes? This music video explores the tension between play and authenticity, inviting viewers to confront the roles we consciously and unconsciously assume. Games are seductive, but did we consent to the illusion? Who’s ready to abandon the comfort of pretend and reclaim genuine connection? I love a game, but we gotta admit that we’re all players ;) Filmed at Digital Debris Video Gallery in LA through fully analog TVs Videography by Chirag Chopra Music Studio: Invite Only Production: Pat Kelly, Brandon Ferguson, Aidan Brody, Will Campbell, Doc Velasquez, Makwaia Melody / Lyrics: Makwaia Mix: Will Campbell Master: Eric Castillo
