Commissioned the official music video for Nina Simone’s iconic track “My Baby Just Cares for Me” as remixed by incendiary electronic artists HONNE. Shot on location in Cape Town, South Africa on the hottest day of the year, director Jolynn Minnaar and her dedicated crew from Stage 5 Films delivered a stunning portrait of human care in all its forms.
The best compliment a commissioner could imagine came directly from Nina’s Estate:
“I think every element Nina would have wanted is here. The locales and casting here are terrific, distinctly African. It’s multiracial, intergenerational, multicultural, gender fluid.
You have lifted the 1985 version between the remix and the visuals. You’ve all done very well and should be congratulated.”
