Here at Hollywood Crush we are (obviously) enthusiastic supporters of young, attractive actors. Even more so when they expand their horizons by channeling their talents into other ventures.
Case in point: "Red Riding Hood" actor and one-time Hump Day Hottie Shiloh Fernandez, who has stepped into the director's chair for the first time to make a music video for the angsty breakup song "We Still Burn," by Top Shelf.
Check out Shiloh's work below and what he had to say about his real-life inspiration for the video!
"I grew up with the members of the band," Shiloh said. "We're all from Northern California and really like that soft reggae music, and I think they've done a great job and this album [The Sound] is fantastic. They sent it to me and I thought maybe we could come up with something that is beautiful and also of the area that we grew up in, and represent the band in a different way that you might not normally see."
Shiloh also revealed that they shot the video on a budget of about $100 and that his brother and ex-girlfriend (who is also featured in the video) helped out in holding the camera when he had to be in the shots himself.
"Some of the inspiration for the video was, I had had a girlfriend in high school, from [the ages of] 14-19. I had this girlfriend, and we all knew each other, and we'd break up and get back together, and when I heard the song and how they described it to me, about their own relationships and the tumultuousness of young love and breaking up and getting back together, and how there is always that passion that always burns for one of your first loves, and actually use the girl from high school in the video, I connected with that."
