While working a dead end job at a thrift store, a young man rediscovers his passion for music.
This film was directed by Kate Balsley. The Sonatina was filmed on location in Hainesville, Illinois. The cast and crew were entirely Milwaukee and Chicago based.
This music video was directed by Clare Conway, an emerging artist, writer, and director from Melbourne, Australia. She provided the following statement about the video.
This music video was born through the inspiration Wren handed me with this track ‘Soldiers’. Having a strong, epic, cinematic feel, I knew I could go as big as I wanted (and include some slow motion galloping in amour!). For me it was important to show the range of emotions communicated through the lyrics, but ultimately reveal a strong and powerful individual moving forward – and fighting for this. Jess’s (Wren) performance encapsulated this through and through.
