Phillip Youmans directs a new promo for Fly Anakin
SMUGGLER director Youmans transforms a single elevator into a surreal stage for Fly Anakin
SMUGGLER director Phillip Youmans brings his raw, immersive vision to Fly Anakin’s The Times / Corner Pocket.
Youmans transforms a single elevator into a surreal stage, where Fly Anakin begins alone, stuck between floors and caught in a loop of fear, reflection, fear and acceptance. As new artists enter, tension builds, energy shifts and the elevator becomes full of chaos.
Youmans captures every detail with intense close-ups and dramatic lighting, pulling you deep into the artists’ world with raw, captivating performances.
