The Heartless Equestrian
The doors are closed. There are no more screenings of this film.
Synopsis: Originally the lyrics were a poem written by Zoë. Over a glass of wine one night, she shared the idea with Eddy and asked if he thought it could become a good song. He agreed and with some adaptions to the lyrics, he wrote the music and sang the vocals.
Zoë decided a video had to go with it, afraid to use real footage because of the songs strong and political message, she decided to emulate with her own and aged horse, Mia. With almost a zero budget the music video and the making of was shot on an iPhone 8 and put together using VSDC Free Video Editor. Apart from purchasing fake blood and the odd prop piece the main budgets was spent recording the master song in a studio in Belgium.
