“Nobody Knows / Keep Calm and Carry On- Moon Bride” by Daniel Rosenberg

In a nod to Old Hollywood and Harper’s Bazaar’s Man Ray, the 3.5 minute video visualizes a woman awakening to a new world and full of questions. Packed with handmade costumes, playful cinematography, and motion VFX, it is an artful, extravagant, and totally original trip through time and space.
