Making Of "I CAN'T GROW UP" | Tegan and Sara | Music Video | BTS

In the summer of 2022, I directed, shot, and edited four music videos for Tegan and Sara. In this video I breakdown how we made the second video, I Can't Grow Up. Starting with my first seeds of inspiration and going through the pitch and prep process, as well as the execution of the video - watch to see how we brought the video to life.
For me the highlight was finally doing a forwards and reverse concept I've had for more than a decade.

"I Can't Grow Up" Lyrics:
Loser
Take my heart
I can’t grow up

Gimme gimme all of your love and then break it off
Can you even live with yourself?
Get me get me under your spell why does it turn you off?
Put me back onto the shelf
Take me to the edge, want the maximum
You’re always kiss kiss kissing me off
So lemme lemme get what I want
And when you break it off
Get me up and back to the start
Cause I can’t grow

Gimme Gimme all of your love
Loser, I can’t grow up

How do I know when it’s time to let go?
Take my heart, I can’t grow up
How do I love when it’s time to let go?

Got me got me feeling insane you spin me round again
Twist my head until you hear pop
Get me get me under your thumb does it turn you on
To hear me just telling you stop
Hanging by a thread, want the maximum
You’re always cut cut cutting me off
So lemme lemme get what I want
And when you break it off
Get me up and back to the start
Cause I can’t grow up

Boomerang taking my head off
A hitman taking my last breath
Sinking fangs into my throat
You’re a hangman killing my hop
