A girl struggles with crippling anxiety at a social gathering - which manifests itself in a number of surreal but wholly identifiable ways, in the video for new artist Jax0n.

The song Words, his debut single, was inspired by a friend's mental health issues that were spawned by his struggle with sexual identity, but most importantly, how the power of words helped him overcome this. In the accompanying narrative, Mr Yankey & Jack Ker - aka Mr. Mr. - present an emotive and surreal vision of social anxiety and depression.

The film focuses around a girl called Imogen, played by Lilli Mathod, and the personal challenges she faces within a houseparty, as her social anxiety throws her into the bleak and surreal world of her psyche. It's an extreme version of the social awkwardness felt by many of us - and as it turns out, a few words and gestures from others can change everything...

 

MR. MR.:

“In a nutshell, the film is all about social anxiety, mental health and how we can be transported into a dark place by the smallest trigger at any time; we all get lost in our own psyche sometimes. In these visuals, we dramatize this concept and play with the dynamics of that. A lot of the time, these things are just in our heads, they aren’t real; sometimes it’s as simple as reaching out and talking to each other to gain a better perspective."
