Kempi - 'Zet um op (Baby)' My friend Ivan Barbosa and I were working with hiphop sensation Kempi, to shoot a documentary on his violent, but extremely creative life when Dutch hiphop kingpin Kees de Koning asked us to shoot some videos for the little genius. So we did. Ivan directed 'Zoveel Stress' (almost 3 million Youtube downloads) and 'Kom nie hier' (half a million downloads) and I made 'Zet um op (Baby)' The video is about teenage mothers. Kempi's girlfriend was pregnant at the time and he felt the need to reach out to all these young girls. So we shot a video in wich we follow a young girl, who is pregnant, that feels left alone by the world and has to stay strong in the streets of Rotterdam. We did not feel the need to really tell a story, but we made her eyes tell the story. Those sad eyes actress Fajah Lourens gave us tell us enough of her inner emotions. |
