KNOW is a raw and immersive music video short film that explores a woman’s internal reckoning with an abusive relationship, unfolding over a restless 24-hour journey through New York City. Blending two visual languages; gritty, intimate Super 8 and stark digital, the film blurs the boundary between her outer world and her inner chaos.

Set entirely in the present, the story follows her as she walks the city streets with her partner silent, detached, searching. The digital footage captures the external: the noise, the strangers, the fleeting distractions of the city that never sleeps. But beneath the surface, her mind spirals.

In contrast, the Super 8 sequences rupture the narrative with flashes of her internal world; abstract, surreal, and emotionally raw. These are not memories, but sensations. Symbols of control, fear, guilt, longing, and suppressed rage flood the screen: hands tightening around her own, distorted reflections in dark puddles, a room filling slowly with water. Each image is a fragment of her subconscious, pushing toward awareness.

The city becomes a container for her inner confrontation—subways morph into tunnels of thought, neon lights flicker with doubt, and shadows stretch with meaning. She doesn’t speak, but the lyrics echo in her head like intrusive thoughts, looping and distorting as her psyche fractures and reforms.

As dawn breaks, the two visual worlds begin to merge external and internal aligning in one final, breathless moment of clarity. She doesn’t escape her pain, but she sees it. She knows it. And for the first time, she stands on her own.

KNOW is a powerful exploration of psychological survival, using visceral imagery and atmospheric storytelling to illuminate the unseen war between appearance and truth, silence and voice, victimhood and self-realization.
