“I see the finished film as a love story, about the joy of finding companionship. There's so much strength in love.”⁠
⁠
#NOWNESSASIAPicks NEW: In the music video for Nicholas Semrad's 'Dawn', Taipei-based director Anna Kuo captures the restrained contradictions of the city's stray dogs. 🐕️⁠
⁠
Moving through the 'shadows of the city', these dogs embody a poignant metaphor for the song's layered emotionality, portraying a state of being 'so close yet so far'. Filmed across 14 days in late summer, Kuo adopts a documentary approach to follow the daily lives of stray dogs amidst Taipei's industrial landscape. Rather than evoking pity, the film frames their existence in a natural state.⁠

My very first single as a solo artist, “DAWN” is NOW AVAILABLE on all the streaming platforms! Along with the release, I’d love to also announce that the music video directed by the lovely @sputnikuo is now live! LINK IN MY BIO TO WATCH!

This song was written to accentuate the peace that comes with the moment before sunrise. Whether it’s a breath of fresh air before the workday starts, a breath of release at the end of a long evening, or, in a more symbolic sense, the dawn of new beginnings and of seeing the world in a new light, ‘Dawn’ is a very powerful time in this world.

I’d love to thank everyone involved with this project. It’s been such a joy to make this story come to life, and getting to finally work with Anna and her team on the video was an absolute treat!

Had a dream I ditched my friends to fly into the sky so I could get hit by the sunset at the perfect angle. Waking up from that made me want to share a little favorite thing I’ve written. tyvm by @sputnikuo
