On The Rise act Your Friend aka Taryn Miller released her stunning album Gumption earlier this year. We were swept away with her video for “Come Back From It” and now Miller has shared a video for the album’s title track. Directed by Dan Huiting the video for “Gumption” features Miller amongst a snowy landscape and a fiery discovery. As Huiting explained…
“When I first heard this song I immediately had two images come into my mind. One was person trudging through the snow from overhead, and second was an overhead shot of that person stopping in front of a burning car. There’s something about fire that is so mesmerizing to me.”
Miller elaborates…
“I feel really fortunate to have worked with Dan. I’ve been a fan of his work for a long time. It was wild getting to see the fire footage after the fact since I was facedown in the ice for those shots. It was painfully cold but I would get hit with this wave of heat as the flames grew and it felt amazing in this strange way. In that, I couldn’t see but only experience it physically.”
Check out the chilling video above.
