“Ugly Feeling- Madeline and Makk Mikkael” by Donia Rogia
Newly paired and often misunderstood roommates, Mad and Makk, throw a party. As each starts to experience the life they’ve always desired, they are forced to confront the consequences of becoming someone else.
FROM THE DIRECTOR
“This is the first collaboration between director Donia Rogia and songwriter Madeline. "When we began developing the concept for the video, we kept referencing Robert Altman's Three Women. The film's story felt perfectly aligned with the song's message. Creating this video as an homage to one of our favorite movies was incredibly exciting. My previous music videos had more abstract concepts, so diving into a narrative-driven approach was refreshing and rewarding. Making music can often be a solitary experience, so collaborating on this video with a talented group of people was very inspiring. We made this video with duct tape and a dream-sewing costumes, thrifting props, and even having friends step in as extras on the morning of the shoot. We're deeply grateful to everyone who helped bring this vision to life."
