Paul McCartney’s "Come On To Me"–from his newly released album Egypt Station–celebrates that basic human need we all have for connection. Three music videos, directed and edited by TG Herrington, harness the track’s joyful exuberance and inspire audiences to get up and dance as part of the #COTMChallenge.
“Little Freddie,” “Ali” and “Elsa” were filmed in director Herrington’s home town of New Orleans, a place that lives large with compelling characters in a city known for its warm and wild embrace of both music and dance. Three people working the night shift celebrate the secret, hidden moments when you can let your guard down and move. Herrington and his wife, producer Nicelle Herrington, explored their vast network of the city’s unique denizens to find three people–no actors with no professional choreography–for three films with three teasers.
As a body of work these three stories weave together to give audiences a glimpse into what it means to be human, to connect to a piece of music and then be moved to lose ourselves in that brief magical moment. The culminating video unites the trio–alone, but together in spirit. It premiered on MTV, and across Paul McCartney’s social channels.
This hero piece–with all three protagonists–earned inclusion into SHOOT’s ScreenWork section. TG Herrington is currently seeking commercial representation as a director. He continues his editing collaboration via Cut+Run.
