For the video I started with the idea of going on a date with your sleep paralysis demon or “A Date with Death.” As the project developed, so did the idea. We were blessed with having access to The Flying Saucer Restaurant in Niagara Falls and the concept evolved into a bit of a hybrid between this dreamy date with death and an alien abduction story. I didn’t want this alien/death character to feel too masculine, scary or overbearing. I wanted the character to feel friendly and fantastical and queer. I worked with our amazing costume designer, Cameron Lee, to bring this ethereal creature “The Glam Reaper” to life. This queer campy character “The Glam Reaper” is the embodiment of many things for me. They embody that universal dance we all do with ourselves and our inner demons. It’s about facing what lurks in the shadows, and fearlessly accepting the ride it might take you on.
