Life’s Work

Music Video

Director, Editor, Colorist

Music by Hannah Frances. “‘Life’s Work’ is a haywire and whimsical exploration of familial rupture and the impacts of growing up in a dysfunctional home,” Frances says of the track. “Featuring arrangements by Daniel Rossen and trombone by Andy Clausen, there’s a touch of theatrical gallows humor to this song as a musical juxtaposition to the interiority of pain that I am narrating. Learning to trust in spite of everything is our life’s work,” she continues. “Life’s Work” follows a pair of singles — the avant-garde journey of “Surviving You” and the wonderfully lush “Falling From and Further” — which have received glowing praise from Pitchfork, CLASH, The Line of Best Fit, The New York Times, Paste, Stereogum and more.
