The album 'Bluesman' explores issues of national inequality and oppression, and it needed more than a traditional music video to empower the message and unify audiences.

Three songs from the album are scored into a cinematic short film, applying universal themes of growing up, growing old, faith, family and friendship, to engage all viewers in the pursuit of equality and peace.
