Music video features footage of Valleys
A NEW music video featuring stunning aerial footage of the snow-covered Valleys has been released.
Christopher Rees used drone footage from Llanwonno Forest in the snow between Christmas and new year for his new song I Shiver.
The rock song is from his latest album The Nashville Songs, and shows the Rhondda landscape in all its glory, attempting to “recall the widescreen beauty of a winter western”.
The short film was shot by filmmaker and musician Chris Summerill, with Les Davies providing the drone footage, and Mr Rees said he will present a free cinema screening of the new video at The Pheonix Cinema in Ton Pentre on Thursday.
Rhondda-based Mr Rees added: “Initially I approached The Phoenix just to ask if it might be possible to just screen the video for our own pleasure of seeing it on the big screen, as we felt that it would look amazing on that scale.
“But then Chris Summerill encouraged me to make it more of an event and let other people see it too. I also wanted to try and raise awareness of the amazing community-run facility that we have in Ton Pentre so that more people might come out to help support and sustain such an historic and beautiful venue in the heart of the Rhondda.”
The cinema screening will begin at 9pm followed by a live solo performance by Mr Rees. Entry is free to all.
