shareWe make playlists for every season, road trip, and life milestone. We assign songs to the way people make us feel, the right chord can sweep us into a dense nostalgia, a bassline can liberate us. Soundtracks do not belong only to movies, we belong to our music. This soul-serving collection of short films and music videos showcases a love note in the tune of life– from an elderly statesman of the Philippine jazz scene to an immigrant mother’s escape into a karaoke fantasy to a rocking reflection of one carefree youthful summer.
GOOD FOR:
Folks who obsess on their Spotify wrapped and check their New Release Playlist every Friday, live for shazaming mid-movie for the break up scene soundtrack, and anyone who has an anthem for crossing the Bay Bridge.
