DAY OF MY ESCAPE - chris hurn

Music Video

'Day Of My Escape' is the third single off Chris Hurn's debut album 'Too Busy Dreamin' released through Monkey Records. This NZ On Air Funded music video conveys that overwhelming desire to escape facets of our own lives, and the struggle to maintain any balance or order with the choices we make..

Filmed in Ohariu Valley, near Wellington, the music video portrays Chris as a ragged vagabond trapped in a pillory, situated in the middle of nowhere. While he attempts to escape, Chris is joined by four lost and embattled characters at crossroads.

Renowned veteran NZ cinematographer Waka Attewell (Billy T: The Movie, Starlight Hotel) provides the video with a strong and evocative visual style. The result is an engaging and thoughtful video embracing the emotionality of these characters conflicts against the surreal backdrop of the serene New Zealand landscape.
