MANIFEST RELEASES VIDEO FOR MIND GAMES

“All these old happy photographs framing us.
Mind Games give migraines, how I for do? In
the war of roses, nobody wins, it’s true…”
After the universal critical acclaim for his ‘No
Shortcut to Heaven’ video featuring Obrafour,
Ghana’s rap champ, M.anifest is back with
another visual for ‘Mind Games’, the latest off
his Apae EP.
He trades the pans of a small-scale miner for
the seeming comforts of a New York apartment
in telling the tale of a complicated romance – a
tale of two broken hearts.
The video, which was shot in Brooklyn, New York,
sees director Garth Von Glehn of Film Fam
skilfully weaving between the happy and
frustrating moments that characterize many
romantic relationships.
Von Glehn focuses on the emotional detail of a
relationship’s toughest times with stylistic
elements of organic retro chic.
An aesthetically minimalist video, we see the two
protagonists, M.anifest and his love interest
reminisce on the vicissitudes of relationships –
happy to sad to angry all over again. M.anifest
plays an avant-garde avid 8MM filmmaker who
blurs the lines between life, love and art.
M.anifest has gradually carved for himself a
reputation for releasing the most creative videos
and this one doesn’t disappoint, bringing to life
his lyrics and distinct storytelling capabilities.
