She's Not Me

The very first music video that I made for our Introduction to Film project.

"Inside every one us, there exists a dark side. Most people rise above it, but some are consumed by it.
Until there is nothing left, but pure evil." - Dr. Samuel Loomis (Halloween) 

During our midterms for the first semester of our sophomore year our professor asked us to make a music video for any song that we like. During that time I was so hooked with Lana Del Rey's music and videos, as we all know Del Rey's style is inspired by the 1950's and the 1960's, and she loves putting in videos from the past and put it in her music video, so I came up with the same concept and decided to make a "vintage-like" music video full of library shots.

The idea of the music video is to shock the viewers in a very mysterious way. I was really inspired by some classic horror films in terms of its visual creativity, namely, Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock (1960), Begotten by E. Elias Merhige (1990) and some classic music videos that came from the 1940's.

Enjoy this one deadly romance...

I dare you to watch it backwards.

So, are you a ride or a die? Bitch.

Palm Trees in Black and White

Welcome to Death and Butter

My life can be compared to a book. I start filling out the pages in a very creative, lyrical and poetic way. Every page interprets different metaphors that symbolizes my everyday. Each chapter represents a whole new imagination from reality and a new belief from a fantasy. I believe that every person has their own writings,  their own prayers, their vivid representation and their own concept of the book called "life". It is my obligation as an artist to write a story in every page in a unique and artistic way. My life can also be compared to a lyrics of an unknown composition. A mysterious masterpiece that is waiting to be discovered. Every word symbolizes my body and soul. I am a lyric who seeks for a music that can make the flowers sway and make them come to life so they can spread their petals into the wilderness that divided them from paradise.

"Doll"
 -Jc Barlam

Full of genius and dunce in this world of shame

Orders from above are all the same

Our praises and worshps are always profane

Lifeless creatures are embellished in our name

Elevated spirits all die in vain

Dominated by the scars and the pain."

Welcome to Death and Butter.

Where pain is gracefully done.
