Teacup Gorilla is a Denver, CO band that performs dark indie-rock songs and evocative poetry —
often compared to early Modest Mouse,
Low, or the Velvet Underground.
In the summer of 2015 they
released a debut EP
(The Holes They Leave)
along with the multimedia novel
Riding SideSaddle*.
In 2016,
they collaborated with Buntport Theater,
adapting the novel for the stage,
and underscoring it live
to rave reviews.

Principal photography took place at The Bakery. This venue is great for infinite backgrounds since the whole space is painted black. With the help of a Haze Machine we were able to hide undesirable corners and light the set properly. Overall it was a great shoot, especially because the band is super professional and adaptable to any new ideas we threw at them during the filming.
