The Whole World (Official Music Video)

Director/DP/Editor

In this Northwest Regional Emmy nominated video, the lyrics and vocals by local artist and activist Mic Crenshaw, Redray Frazier, and Libretto, take us on a journey through America’s racist past and present. This music video and single release of The Whole Wide World by the Ghosts of Our Revolutionary Ancestors (GORA) was an incredible collaboration with The Rosewood Initiative, GORA and mural artist Antwoine Thomas.

Once GORA wrote and recorded the The Whole World track…

…Antwoine Thomas began sketching out ideas for a mural based on his reaction to the song. I was then commissioned by the Rosewood Initiative to create a music video of this beautiful collaboration. During the edit, I chose to incorporate the making of the mural, GORA performing their song, and archival footage of protests from the past 70 years to drive home the fact that we’ve been fighting for equality decade after decade and we’re still stuck in history.
