New Years Eve 2010 Erin overheard Lydia Carmany singing a rendition of Kid Cudi’s Pursuit of Happiness on her grandmother’s piano during a party.  The cover haunted her so much that a year later she approached Lydia about a music video collaboration.  Luckily, Nashville music producer Mike Coates was equally moved and had recently laid down a track, unbeknownst to Erin.

To date, Pursuit of Happiness remains one of Erin’s favorite pieces she has ever directed.
