Rudimental ft Kareen Lomax 'Jumper' by Monica G. Carter
Rob Ulitski - 13th Aug 2021
An unexpected pregnancy puts a strain on a young woman's relationships, in Monica G. Carter's beautifully introspective promo for Rudimental.
The video for Jumper focuses on the core relationships in the life of the girl - played by Fernanda Rivera - with her friends, her love interest, but particularly her mother.
Through abstract snapshots of private moments, we come to understand that a short-lived fling has long-term consequences which threaten to upend her idea of stability, religion and purpose. But the love between a mother and her daughter prevails, and sets her up for a new chapter in her life.
Shot in Mexico City, the locations frame the story within the tapestry of life buzzing in every corner, and the casting is spot-on for every role. Excellent, thought-provoking work.
MONICA G. CARTER:
I wanted to show that a woman’s value is not determined by circumstance.
"I was inspired by the power of a mother’s love which I am lucky to experience every day. This love can pull us through even when life doesn’t turn out as we hoped. I also wanted to show that a woman’s value is not determined by circumstance. It is an homage to women. To their power and their strengths.
"Working on 16mm is always an amazing process. It is more intimate, there has to be a lot of trust. This is why myself and Bruno Gaeta, the DP felt this was the right format for this project. It is an intimate, raw, delicate yet strong story.
"Working with Fernanda Rivera was a beautiful process because she believed in me and the story fully. She was able to tap into the emotions and portray them with only her physicality. It was a process of letting go and although it is hard for a director to do that sometimes it was definitely worth it."
