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.
