Jennifer Grassman and Zenfilm Announce World Premiere of “Pretty Girls” Video
Grassman’s new music video receives international acclaim
Houston, TX – December 18, 2008 – The much-anticipated world premiere of the powerful new music video “Pretty Girls” from recording artist Jennifer Grassman, launched online worldwide on Thursday.
Jennifer Grassman’s first music video, “Pretty Girls,” a track from debut disc At the Back of the North Wind, is described as a “surreal, dark and beautiful homage to women through the centuries and the joys and dangers that their beauty has drawn into their lives” by Zenfilm director Ross Wells.
Filmed in and around a 150 year old rural farmhouse outside of Richmond, Texas, “Pretty Girls” captures dramatic and dangerous moments in the lives of pretty girls past and present. The narrative is intercut with dynamic performance footage of Jennifer Grassman filmed in Studio A of ‘The Abbey Road of the South’, historic SugarHill Studios, in Houston.
“I enjoyed this filming this video,” says Grassman, a talented singer-songwriter, who effortlessly fuses diverse elements of classical, Celtic, gothic and rock styles into a beautiful, moving genre all her own. She adds, “Especially since this project allowed my sisters key roles in performing, costume design and video production.”
“Pretty Girls” takes the viewer on an interesting trip through time examining the way social morals affect women, and the relationship between men and women of the Victorian age, the 1950’s and present-day Western culture.
“Fashions change, technologies change, but emotions, desire, and the baser instincts have been the same for many years,” says Wells. “All the Pretty Girls past and present are cautioned, and at the same time celebrated, in this video.”
