IN LOSS I LEARNED LOVE
AND FOUND LIFE
This project was commissioned by Stanley Rameau of Paul Rameau, a social awareness brand founded in Boston, Massachusetts. Stanley had the vision of creating a 2020 compilation video for social media that would ultimately leave the viewer feeling hopeful, while also capturing the brand's phrase: "In loss I learned love and found life."
2020 has been full of loss and pain, but also triumph and love. This video seeks to capture that duality, to honor those we have lost this year, and to remind those watching that through love we can collectively heal, make change, and begin our rebirth.
The short film was premiered on November 29th 2020 at AMC South Bay in Boston. In addition to the video, Darby also created the AR Instagram filter "Paul Rameau 'Life'" which was released that same day.
