Daughn Gibson

Daughn Gibson "Daddy I Cut My Hair" (Matt Amato, dir.)

Just like the sights in William Tyler's Tennessee video "The Sleeping Prophet," “Daddy I Cut My Hair” was filmed in the Appalachians, this time around Pennsylvania. And like in that video, here Matt Amato gives you a real sense of what much of the area is about: beautiful, cold hills, somewhat-busy roadways, and the sometimes-distant Appalachian hospitality.

Another Hell (Saam Farahmand, dir)

ANOTHER HELL

Filmmaker Saam Farahmand says this short film is "inspired by the music and the magic of Daughn Gibson," a Pennsylvania born-and-bred singer who sounds like a reconnection to old weird America.  Gibson stars in the piece, which is centered around his 2012 track "A Young Girl's World," and is a dark coming of age story, with Gibson ready to move on (which is different from wanting to move out).
