Joyless
A band audition, with a corporate dress code.
Behind the film.
For Stock Goblin’s Joyless, the starting point was the band audition in Back to the Future: a row of people in chairs, holding clipboards. The suits took their cue from Severance.
I handled direction, production, filming, editing, and color.
Visual references.
The seated judges in Back to the Future shaped the staging; Severance inspired the suits. These linked stills illustrate those two references.
