Synopsis
Kevin Drew performs on a dimly lit theater stage before a small, watchful audience. Covered in glitter and dressed in white, he appears both as entertainer and observer, with the video repeatedly turning its gaze back on him. Black-and-white imagery gives the performance a dreamlike, voyeuristic mood before color enters near the conclusion. The intimate spectacle becomes more playful and romantic as Drew approaches Regina The Gentlelady, ending with a kiss that breaks through the clip's carefully staged distance.
