overview

The video has two main characters, Scott and a companion. We lean into a classic American runaway story, while intertwining the romantic ideas within the song lyrics. Vast landscapes as backdrops provide the idea that our characters have isolated themselves from society, this allows the viewer to focus on Scott and his companions’ run away story.
