Love this video for Corbin’s track “Hunker Down.” A visual extension of the album’s loose concept, the notoriously reclusive singer appears as a doomsday prepper trying to convince an absent lover to move into a bunker deep in the woods. While shot in two Wisconsin towns not far from Corbin’s home of St. Paul, the video could be seen as a personal one for director and photographer Braden Lee as well. Not only did he write, produce, direct, shoot and edit the project in just three weeks, Lee also hails from Minnesota and, as he shared with us, the cement pouring scene was filmed in a quarry he “spent many summers as a kid.”

This is just one of the many incredible submissions we’ve received in the past week. Consider participating here if you have a project you’d like us to check out!
