Aquilo "I Gave It All" (Eoin Glaister, dir.)

Eoin poetically presents the struggles of young love for Aquilo's debut song. This is a two-part video for the band.

From Eoin: My interpretation of the song tells a coming-of-age story about the loss of innocence. How things could have been different if the lead protagonist had pursued a relationship with her best friend instead of his older, cooler brother, and her coming to terms with this.

Cast: Madeline Duggan, Tom Cawte, Lewis Vernon

Casting Dir: Anna Kennedy Casting (Thanks to Anna and Rachel)

Sway Clarke II "Secret Garden" (Eoin Glaister, dir.)

Sway Clarke II learns that what goes around sometimes comes around after a long "walk of shame" home.  The video structure seems ideal for a twist, but director Eoin Glaister makes it more of a red herring instead. That said, even if you see the end coming — you likely won't — you'll still be surprising by the song's sudden stop for a potentially life-changing phone call, and an equally rap break.
