Holly Humberstone – “On The Run” short film
“This film pretty much sums up how I’ve been feeling this year. At times I’ve just wanted to run away and get the hell out of here. I make all my videos with the same team and we thought it would be cool to follow on from the ‘Drop Dead’ video where I set fire to my dad’s car and the ‘Overkill’ video of me on the run through the woods at night with my guitar. What better way to bring ‘Falling Asleep At The Wheel’ EP to a close! If you listen closely there is the tiniest bit of a new song tucked away in the film too.” – Holly Humberstone stated
‘On The Run’ documents the story of Holly Humberstone’s first body of work. The Raja Virdi & Josh Sanger-directed film was shot in a few takes in a paper mill in the Midlands, close to Holly’s hometown of Grantham. The camera follows Holly through a haunting performance that is both delicate, can-hear-a-pin-drop, to expansive, headline moments. With the script written by Holly herself, the 20-year-old singer songwriter’s home has been at the heart of her songwriting and visual collages. Also, the film takes viewers on a unique journey through her critically acclaimed debut EP, entitled, “Falling Asleep At The Wheel.”
Not too long ago, Vevo named Humberstone as a DSCVR Artist to Watch for 2021.

“I wrote this song a while ago. While still unsure of who I wanted to be and where I wanted to head musically. Writing this song was probably the first time I felt like I knew who I was within the music I was making.” – Holly Humberstone stated
