To You Alone

Tom Rosenthal "To You Alone" (Farhad Ghaderi & Sara Silkin, dir.)

To You Alone is a subtle and intimate exploration of solitude.

Inspired by Tom Rosenthal’s latest album, Z-Sides, better known as the “Sleepy Album”, this video was conceived and made amongst strangers in one warm Los Angeles afternoon. 

The piece is an international collaboration across different artistic platforms. British songwriter and musician Tom Rosenthal, Mexican-Iranian director and cinematographer Farhad Ghaderi, French-Tunisian director and choreographer Sara Silkin and American choreographer and performer Derek Tabada. 

"None of us knew each other or had worked together before but we instantly connected through Tom’s beautiful music and admiration for each other’s work. Not knowing where it would take us, we decided to guide our contributions by the idea of being so vulnerable and exposed, yet feeling terribly lonely." - Farhad Ghaderi, director
