Stephen Wilson Jr. - "The Beginning" (Official Music Video)

This video was shot in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic which gave us many limitations with production but that being said, we tried to speak to the lyric of the song with images that bounced around the world showing the cultural differences that exist in us all. My personal upbringing involved a lot of Christian-based apocalyptic fear and I always wondered how humans were supposed to progressively co-exist rooted in that to-what-end philosophy. This video tries to tap into those emotions with an intention of hope at the end that the best is perhaps yet to arrive.
