Johnny Rogers – Please Don’t Call (Official Music Video)

Role: Director · Cinematographer · Video Editor · Colorist

Concept

A melancholic yet stylish visual narrative exploring heartbreak, distance, and memory. The video follows Johnny as he reflects on a fading relationship — performing through cold city streets while his mind drifts back to intimate, dreamlike memories with his partner.

Story & Approach

Shot over two days, the video contrasts two emotional worlds: the present — Johnny performing solo across three urban Toronto locations — and the past — soft, nostalgic scenes with Oleksandra Rudevych that capture love and loss in equal measure.

Cinematic framing, handheld intimacy, and natural lighting blend modern realism with a vintage aesthetic. The color grade shifts from muted city tones to warm, nostalgic hues, mirroring the emotional arc of letting go.
