Please welcome Freedom’s first promo video. We’ve been wanting to create a video for some time now that would somehow encapsulate what Freedom is and show our love for what we do. This short film A Local Romance, we believe, achieves that.
Big hugs and thanks to the amazing crew that took part in the making of this film....
Nadia Tan (Filmographer) a woman with super talent spread across a myriad of disciplines, her paper art can be seen at last month's Not Just Paper Planes exhibition (pictured above).
Patricia and Mark (models) are not only the loveliest of couples, but they are also the photographers and artists behind Polygun Collective. Patricia had a solo show of her In Between Dreams series (pictured above) at Freedom a few months back and many of her pieces can be seen and purchased via the Freedom Market.
Marsya Maharani (stylist & photographer) was the key link in making this shoot happen. Behind the scenes is a crazy, time consuming job, but she managed it with the finesse and charm of a ….. hahaha I want to write princess but not sure if that is quite right... well you know what I mean!! You rock M!
