August (The Summer I Turned Pretty Trailer) Music Video

This music video may be just a girl with her phone and a dream, but I hope you too can feel some of the magic of my childhood summers through this video! ☀️
Since 2003, growing up I would spend at least one month of the year in the South of France. That month being... you guessed it - August! (I think I've now had more birthdays there than anywhere else!)
I'm no longer able to go quite as frequently, and not always with my family (or necessarily in August 😢), but it remains one of my favourite places in the whole world. If every person has a perfect place where they function best and feel the most themselves - summer in the South of France is it for me!
I was there when Folklore was released and it was just perfect. It quickly became not only my favourite album, but so closely associated with France - I listen to pretty much nothing else while I'm out there now.
As soon as I heard this version of the song, and saw the trend of everyone running down beaches singing to it, a vision popped in to my head.
So of course I hijacked my parents holiday and made my mum help me create this vision 😛 And just like the chill nature of my holidays, this was a very chill project, just filming random segments on my phone as and when inspiration struck!
