Collaboration with Unknown Union: "What Makes Us Human"
We met Bailen about a year ago while he was documenting the creative process of Malik Yusef and Bad Kids. We kicked it, and spent time exchanging thoughts on the role of artistry and filmmaking, all at a time when prevailing narratives often focus on what makes us different as opposed to what we have in common. From these conversations birthed organic and authentic collaborative effort to express our thoughts on the topic: enter "What Makes Us Human".
