Geej Ower has delivered a series of beautifully-realised mini-tales from the city, in this ambitious short film for Thea Gustafsson, aka Becky and the Birds.For five songs on the upcoming 'Album EP', Ower sketches different female experiences - the young traveller lost in her headphones/music; the girl in a relationship; the independent-minded skater; the mother, forced to remember a traumatic loss; and finally Thea/Becky herself, in a break from a moment of intimacy.Shot on film - beautiful job by Nick Morris - this portmanteau-style film has the fantastic quality of sketching life as it is now, through a range of storytelling techniques. Ower really shows what she's capable of here, and it's a marvellous showcase for Gustafsson's music.
