Directors' Notes:
Naomi: “Gary Graham and I have worked together for almost 15 years. I wear his clothing every day and on stage and I have collaborated with him on many videos for his brand, GaryGraham422. "The Aftertime" is a song about the kind of freedom you can give back to yourself, after emerging from a challenging situation — be it a relationship or a year and a half of lockdown…”
Gary: “The original idea was about a squatter who begins overlaying her own imaginary world onto an abandoned building. I love the interior landscapes and the seascape and the castle wallpaper — our castles, the interior/exterior worlds we occupy. Naomi's voice is like an heirloom siren call, the chanteuse as trickster from a faraway place. That place is where Damon & Naomi live, a place that offers a new hypnotic understanding of time, of getting to see how long the sun lasts.”
