The Premiere of My 3rd Official Music Film, "Cascadia"

An emotionally riveting story about finding light in the darkest of hours, in the great Pacific Northwest: Seattle, Vancouver, and Victoria

When I came up with the idea of “music films” after high school graduation (June 2023), I never would have thought to be now doing this as my life’s work. But here we are, and I’m absolutely thrilled to present to you my greatest masterpiece yet: “Cascadia.” I’ll probably keep calling my latest film my magnum opus since I keep on surprising myself every time I create a new film. Here is the official trailer and film:

“Cascadia” holds a very special place in my heart. Not only is this the first music film to step outside Asia (“Rebirth” in Japan, “Homecoming” in Hong Kong), the story of “Cascadia” came from a momentous period of my life: Q4, 2023. That was a dark chapter, an incredibly dark chapter. And from these darkest moments, I’ve decided to turn it into something beautiful, into a work of art. And there came “Cascadia.”

“Cascadia” is an emotionally riveting story about finding light in the darkest of moments, in the great Pacific Northwest, specifically in Vancouver and Vancouver Island, Canada. I’ve decided to incorporate a double helix story arc: the main storyline following my journey from the dark to light, and the secondary storyline following my journey’s descent into the dark. And in the end, it’ll all come together as one.

There are 9 chapters and tracks for the film:

1. Cascadia

2. Northward

3. ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

4. Vancouver Suite

5. BC Ferries

6. Victoria

7. Ataraxia

8. BC Ferries Reprise

9. A Journey’s End

The music film will be premiering live on my YouTube on Christmas Eve (exactly one year after I embarked on my journey to the Pacific Northwest, hence “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”), 12.24.24. It’ll most likely take place in the afternoon, so stay tuned. Would really appreciate it if you shared the trailer and film with family and friends. And the album will be coming out right after on Spotify. Merry Christmas :).

Northward,

Jeston Lu
