Casting call for music video in support of Andy’s Man Club

On April 27, local up and coming artist Em Louise will be filming a deeply personal and powerful music video on Scarborough’s South Bay with Andy’s Man Club and Film Buddy UK, for her upcoming drum and bass single “Be Right Here”, which will be released in early May around Mental Health Awareness Week.

The video is in support of Andy’s Man Club, a charity dedicated to raising awareness around mental health and suicide prevention. This project is particularly close to Em Louise’s heart because she tragically lost her her younger brother David, in 2022 after he lost his battle with his mental health.

 

This music video aims to spark important conversations about mental health and suicide prevention. Em Louise is calling on volunteers and extras to help bring this powerful story to life. Anyone who feels passionate about supporting mental health awareness or who even has connection to Andy’s Man Club is encouraged to participate and be part of this meaningful project.

The concept of the video itself will be a ‘one-shot’ style video, walking from the north end of South Bay Beach uniting in the middle of the beach for a final crowd shot. Award winning director Lee D Barnes from AMC quotes, “We want people to join in, dance, move and enjoy the song and walk. We will finish the video in a big group on the beach, looking up at the sky as the drone passes the clouds whilst all holding the classic ‘ok’ sign that AMC represents.”

Em Louise explains, “This project is a way for me to use my artistry in the most powerful way and I am using my story to hopefully help others. My goal is for this song to be a catalyst for conversation for anyone who may be suffering in silence. Andy’s Man Club is doing amazing work to break the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, and I’m incredibly proud to be supporting them through my music and with this video. I feel this track is an anthem that will spark that first conversation or inspire someone who may be considering attending AMC to push through and go. AMC actually sing on the track, my hairs stand up on my arms every time I listen.”
