Anna Cordell – Tried So Hard

Anna Cordell is an alt-folk artist and fashion designer from Melbourne, Australia. Today we are sharing the music video for Tried so Hard and diving a little bit into what’s incorporated in the video.

Tried so hard, directed by Natalie Van Den Dungen and filmed by cinematographer Simon J Walsh was imagined as a family portrait in video form.

The video includes Anna Cordell’s 5 daughters, her mother and her Grandmother- 4 generations of women.

Natalie wanted to capture these women at all ages and stages of life, incorporating designs by Cordell (Who is also a bespoke clothing designer)

The Video and props were also inspired by classic film, ‘The Colour of Pomegranates’ Anna was particularly drawn to this because of her Persian heritage.

Quinn Delany- Veldhuis worked on the set and AD and Marda Label collaborated on the clothing designs.
