JENNY GREENTEETH

We wanted to begin the video fully embedded in each world, lost in layered textures and immersive details. But slowly, we begin to zoom out, revealing the sets and shifting perspectives. By the end, it’s all broken down, you see it all.

Thanks to the generosity of the Taro Patch and their space, we were able to create all these worlds. They let us repurpose a bunch of their resources, which became the foundation of our backdrops. Building and dressing the scenes took about a week, with friends and band members dropping in and out to help. Special shout out to Tameka Vahatu who spent hours with us, meticulously hand-painting the textures and breathing life into each set. It was truly a team effort—right down to Jazz’s split fingernail that still hasn’t recovered.

Jaya comes from an acting background and has a special affinity for performance-driven projects. There was no question about casting for Jenny; Amanda Tito, one of the most dynamic and talented actors around, was the clear choice. Amanda brought this character to life in a way only she could.

For the role of Lady, Bianca brought the perfect mix of damsel and villain. She designed all her costumes and fully embodied her character, blending innocence with a sneaky edge that gradually turns sinister. Her shift from sweetness to danger added just the right tension and nuance we wanted.

Abigail came on board to design our monster and drew inspiration from the folktale "Jenny Greenteeth," a river-hag who pulls children and the elderly into the water. We aimed for a Gollum-esque character —creepy yet strangely adorable once dragged out of the swamp. With her experience on larger productions like Sweet Tooth, Abigail brought invaluable expertise to the character design.
