About

This cinematic video directed by Guy Shelmerdine transports viewers to McKinley High School in 1994, featuring teenagers interacting in a classic school hallway with lockers. A young woman with a teal scrunchie and denim jacket asks a classmate to sign her yearbook, leading to a personal inscription that sets off a time-jumping narrative. The retro aesthetic is enhanced by period-appropriate styling, including beaded necklaces and 90s hairstyles. The warm, slightly desaturated colour grading reinforces the nostalgic tone of the scene.
