Hayelala - Getting Older

After finishing my mandatory military service, I went backpacking for a year with my dear beautiful friend and creating partner, Matan Portnoy

‍With Matan's Canon 6D camera, we travelled to India, Nepal, Burma and Thailand and fell in love with the landscapes, people and cultures we encountered.     

We felt a deep need to translate our life changing experiences into a personal, visual creation. There was no better way to do so than making a music video for the amazing band “Hayelala”.

‍Their song describes exactly what we felt as we came back home - "Getting Older".‍

‍Directed, shot & edited by  Matan Portnoy and Roy Maayan.‍

‍Colorist: Michael Mizrachi.
