MANOR HOLE HIGH RISE / 2021
ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEO (c. JAN JULIUS)
Set against the backdrop of an insidious rent crisis, MANOR HOLES HIGH RISE is a dense, award-winning plunge into a vivid queer dystopia-- one where rent will consume you, uniforms manifest into tyranny, and four residents fight for their rights to live and love.
Read Jan and May discuss the music video and their friendship in REDEFINE Magazine here as part of their Compare & Contrast Series.
