“MIDNIGHT AND OTHER ENDINGS” is a short film composed of three songs from Montreal-based & Ghanian artist ‘KAE SUN’ for his upcoming EP. The videos capture transitory experiences, set in Southern Africa. We wanted to present the project in a sleek, highbrow, modernized & understated aesthetic.

The project, set in idyllic Namibia, captures the moods and ambiences throughout the shift of the times of day as the concept centers on the ouroboros symbol —meaning infinity, life and death, cycles, night and day, individuality and community.
