So I talked with Ben, CEO of Skies Fall Agency, after last chatting with him maybe 5 years ago. Ben and his company do fantastic work. After catching up, he had mentioned he had a potential project working with Francesca Battistelli. Instantly we both felt like we were on the same page and we were off to the races. I had heard the song several times and I just can’t get over the bridge of the song. 

When I thought I lost me, You knew where I left me, You reintroduced me to Your love

The song is just so powerful. And I knew with Franny’s energy, she would make it. With the song being a worship song and I knew I wanted to make sure it wasn’t showy or overdramatized with actors. It was a simple concept. Start small and in the dark with just Franny. And end with her and light taking over the entire space. And boy did Francesca deliver. It was a fantastic experience, and everyone brought their best. Hope you enjoy and can be impacted by the song. Peace.
