co-directed by CHELSEA JADE and ALEXANDER GANDER
In the 7th (and most harrowing) video we have made together, Alex Gander and I decided to give physicality to the feeling of social imposition via various modes of warp. I always feel cumbersome in social circles in all senses - as a tall woman and as an occasionally alarmed brat (see: lyrics in a short scroll below) it's a constant negotiation between how I feel in my own body alongside how I imagine people are perceiving me. How big or small should I go for maximum acceptance? How much space should I feel comfortable taking up?
MICHAEL MCCABE
Our male lead is a local interdisciplinary designer and casually excellent dancer
GEORGE CLARKE
Our hand actor is surprisingly better known for his work in black metal band "Deafheaven"
Plus, appearances by ALEX GANDER (Co-director), ROSABEL TAN (Producer) and STEVE GULIK (DOP)

Headstrong, heart weak
Taurus with an ego rising
I talk a lot of bullshit lately
‘Cause I’m way too proud
To really be seen
So I’m locked down, low key
Slinking through the parties
Defense ready
You say you’re surprised to see me
I say, “What are you, the party police?”
Fronting like I don’t have the time
But inside of me the crowds going wild
‘Cause I’m a Superfan
Love you like a Superfan
Act like I don’t give a damn
But really I’m a Superfan
Woah
I’m a Superfan
Love you like nobody can
Even though I treat you bad
Really I’m a Superfan
No I don’t speak sweet talk
Don’t know how to screen my bad calls
Lay awake and try to believe
That I don’t really mean to be mean
So, I only bully you
When I’m in a giving mood
Like, I like you
But I like when you’re uncomfortable too
So now I’m acting off colour
Like it’s kind to be cruel
But you’re the ultramarine
To my Yves Klein Blue
I just don’t know what I would do
If you could be fanatical too
I’m a Superfan
(I can’t wait to see you again)
Love you like nobody can
(Lovin’ you like nobody can”
Even though I treat you bad
(You just don’t understand that)
I’m a Superfan
Treat em mean
Keep em keen they say
But I don’t know any other way
Treat em mean
Keep em keen they say
But I don’t know any other way
‘Cause I’m a Superfan
Love you like a Superfan
Act like I don’t give a damn
But really I’m a Superfan
Woah
I’m a Superfan
(I can’t wait to see you again)
Love you like nobody can
(Lovin’ you like nobody can)
Even though I treat you bad
(You just don’t understand that)
I’m a Superfan
Woah
