Q&A with Xidontlie: What Makes Brighten the Corners Festival Special?

I set out to document Xidontlie's journey at the festival: Brighten The Corners. From his home studio to the vibrant stage, our goal was to create an engaging Instagram reel that highlights the personal significance of this performance in his hometown.

Shooting in a vertical ratio, we faced the challenge of blending intimate studio moments with dynamic festival footage. We wanted to showcase not only the music but also the heartfelt story behind this performance.

Xidontlie shared with us why 'Brighten The Corners' festival holds a special place in his heart. Performing for the first time in his hometown centre, right outside the iconic local Ipswich town hall, was a dream come true. To make the moment even more memorable, his younger brother Mason joined him as his DJ, making it a shared experience they will never forget.
