Preditah ft WSTRN 'Distant Memory' by Chirolles Khalil
Chirolles Khalil tells the story of the trials and tribulations of a young couple starting on their life together, in the promo for Preditah featuring WSTRN.
Presented as a series of day-in-the-life vignettes, the visual follows a couple as they move from the early days of bliss to the regularity of life as they settle down, and the obstacles to their future happiness - largely from the female perspective.
Khalil presents this familiar situation with sensitivity, and makes it both engaging and thought-provoking. Olivia Lockhart and Aden Dzuda give standout performances as the couple who you would love to succeed, leading an excellent ensemble cast.
DoP Fola Abatan uses a contrast of relaxed, steady camera movement and frenetic, blink-and-you'll-miss-it cutaways, to reinforce the emotions that play out on screen. Ultimately this is a universal story that has been impressively told.
