Lemme Go Talk My Ish
Red Shaydez “Loses Her Head” in new music video!
Interview with Actor/Writer Red Shaydez
Congratulations! Why did you make your film?
We initially made the video to win a music award but we ended up winning before the video was completed. So we took extra time to capture creativity with a small budget.
What type of feedback have you received so far?
People were amazed by this music video. It’s gotten so much coverage.
Has the feedback surprised or challenged your point of view?
No I kind of expected it but not at the magnitude it became.
What are you looking to achieve by having your film more visible on www.wearemovingstories.com?
I’m trying to broaden our audience as big as it can possibly be.
Who do you need to come on board (producers, sales agents, buyers, distributors, film festival directors, journalists) to amplify this film’s message?
Film festival directors, journalists, and distributors would def it amplify this video.
What type of impact and/or reception would you like this film to have?
I want independent creators to know art like this is possible. It can be done without a million dollar budget. If it’s your passion, you will find a way.
What’s a key question that will help spark a debate or begin a conversation about this film?
How many characters does the main artist play in this video? How did she get her head cut off?
Would you like to add anything else?
This video was directed and created by SNAPSBYKAT aka Katherine Otuechere. Red Shaydez was the featured artist, songwriter and actress.
What other projects are the key creatives developing or working on now?
Morning at the moment. We do have a film we hope to shoot that has been on hold since the pandemic.
