Michael Aldag 'Bleak' by Caroline Hajny

Rob Ulitski - 24th Oct 2022

Caroline Hajny directs an emotional promo for Michael Aldag's Bleak. 

Exploring mental health and relationships - both internal and external - the video places Aldag in several everyday locations, letting his emotional performance do all the talking. 

Switching from high contrast black and white to a desaturated, raw treatment, the video carries an important message, and presents it beautifully.
