Ramping up to the release of his debut record REFLECTION (Out November 8, 2019 via 61 Seconds Records), VONAVI (a.k.a. Andrei Ivanov) is set to premiere the magnificent new video for his latest single, “Regrow” featuring actor Dylan Cheek (Pitch Perfect 2, Good Behavior). Just like his previous videos, “Regrow” was directed by Andrew Litten, Andrei’s close friend and collaborator, who developed an intimate and beautiful story shot on 35mm film.
“When Andrei approached me to make a short film for ‘Regrow’ it just seemed like a natural next step toward creating a larger body of work that was more personal for both of us,” explains Litten. “The piece deals with the perception of memory, and how traumatic life events can shape us forever. Sometimes what we’re searching for is right in front of us, we just can’t see it yet. I encourage everyone reading this to watch the film and attach your own memories and meanings to it.”
A solemn look at the life of a young man who was abandoned by his parents, the video takes advantage of Litten’s incredible cinematography to showcase picturesque landscapes – this time in the heart of suburbia. The story unfolds in the past and present while the track provides a delicate, profound, and contemplative soundtrack that creates a poignant story worth experiencing.
