Sucktitude: The Combative Paradox Between Community and Self in DIY Music

This project consists of a music video I shot over the course of a full year, for a song called "Sucktitude." The story of the video and song relate to both my time utilizing the resources of the student government of Purchase College and the questionable ethics encouraged by a music scene where only 1% get by on talent, and the rest get by on obsessive self-promotion.
