“SONG OF SEIKILOS” SCREENS AT THE PORTLAND MUSIC VIDEO FESTIVAL

The music video Sean directed for There Is No Mountain’s “Song of Seikilos” was recently accepted to the Portland Music Video Festival! On March 10th it played alongside a couple dozen other videos plucked from around the world to show at Portland’s Hollywood Theatre. This marked the first time Sean got to show his work at his favorite movie theater.

The screening was also notable because Sean had to ask the young boy sitting in front of him if he would turn off his iPad during the show. This made Sean reminisce about the days when he was a child and adults bemoaned how music videos were destroying the attention spans of a generation. Now, as an adult, the new “kids these days” have trouble making it through a music video without reaching for their devices.
