Mychelle 'Hurt' by Thea Gajic

Rob Ulitski - 22nd Feb 2023

Thea Gajic directs a second promo for singer-songwriter Mychelle, exploring how we deal with the emotional turmoil of a breakup. 

The concept sees a young woman set up a camera in the corner of her house, just in time to capture her ex-boyfriend collecting the last of his things. From there, we see a montage of different moments - from dinner with friends through to arguments on the phone - all from the fixed vantage point the character set up herself. 

"I wanted to take the typical break-up story and use it to explore our self-obsession and what it might look like if we set up a camera to record ourselves in our worst moments," Gajic explains. "How self-aware are we? How self-aware do we actually want to be?"

This question runs through the video, helping to give context to the narrative moments on-screen, and the eventual reset of the character's life, and her readiness to move forward. 

With a gentle, realistic aesthetic, it's a new spin on the breakup video, with plenty of engaging visuals throughout.
