CEUX D'ICI


DESCRIPTION

"ceux d'ici" is a video I directed, edited and produced for a song that I produced during my solo trip in Paris, in May 2024.

The song and visuals speak for themselves. I know big productions want to recreate this, and I know they can't—because money-motivated productions that involve kids will always be limited by the "legality" of the image. The last shot is a big fuck you to the people with audiovisual resources who don't let us take risks. I did, and I'm glad I did.

There was no casting for this production, just "les petits du quartiers"–

j’ai vu naître les petits de mon quartier
j’ai élevé les petits de mon quartier
j’ai sensibilisé les petits de mon quartier
j’influence les petits de mon quartier
j’ai vu mourir dans mon quartier

je le fais pour les petits de mon quartier

This is a tribute to the ones we lost, and to our childhood.
