Levek ‘Black Mold Grow’ by Michael Lawrence
Tuesday, 23. October 2012 - 11:30 am
Shot in the Buffalo area of upstate New York, a young woman haunted by her demons forms the narrative of Michael Lawrence’s highly watchable promo for Levek’s Black Mold Grow.
“David (from Levek) and I spoke for months about the meaning behind the album – and Black Mold Grow in particular,” explains Michael. “Similar images kept on coming into both of our heads – a gauzy, transcendental view on a young woman’s struggle with her psyche.
“Creating the film was an organic process – everything from the original script to the end product was guided by the nature surrounding us. The locations and environments added a large scope to the film – but, more than anything, created a backdrop for a character-driven story to unfold in a spontaneous, genuine way.”
