Sahra Zadat directs an extravagant and ambitious live promo for pop singer-songwriter Griff's return - featuring performances of five new songs: Vertigo, Into The Walls, 19th Floor and Astronaut - all shot on 16mm at a stunning palatial location. The live performances for Vert1go Vol. 1 opens with a low-angle perspective of a winding staircase for the first song, and moves through the grand building to an outdoor space. It is well-executed in its progression, and the changes in location allow Griff to showcase her multifaceted talents as a performer. Textural and intimate, the video contrasts the location with a personal performance, allowing the music and concept to co-exist in a gentle yet alluring way.
