Los Angeles-based director Henry Kaplan, who is known for his emotion-filled short films and music videos for the likes of Swedish rockers The Shy Lips, talks about the video he made for American songwriter and producer TW Walsh:

“TW released Monterrey as a single long before it appeared on his incredible 2016 album Fruitless Research. I listened to it on repeat probably a million times for several months. I love its feelings of nostalgia and longing; I wanted to co-opt those feelings and apply them to a story about what love was like for kids before cell phones.

“I’m part of the millennial generation that remembers having to remember your friends’ home phone numbers, and actually showing up to places when you said you would—you couldn’t just text people that you’d be late. With this film, I wanted to archive all of that in an emotional, visceral way.”
