CountryBoy's Struggle
Episode Two
Contact’s series of storytelling music videos mix hip-hop and comedy to tell the story of Michael Crompton, a man on a journey to become an MC – from the cliffs of Cornwall to the streets of London.
In the second episode, Michael meets a girl among a horde of teenage ravers beneath a moonlit sky in rural Cornwall.
Written and starring Maxwell Golden, who plays over 40 characters in this performance, the series explores the tensions between what is meant by ‘rural’ and ‘urban’ and attempts to create a bridge between these two worlds.
Countryboy’s Struggle is directed by Baba Israel, Artistic Director of Contact and Richard Ramchurn of Albino Mosquito with music by Danbeats.
