My Little Problem

Synopsis: 

My Little Problem is a music video for the namesake song from the album TRAPPED by Los Angeles artist Precious Child. The director Cade states: 'As a visual artist working in LA, defining myself as a 'feminist post-internet artist' started to feel like a loose hashtag. I started to feel an imminent identity crisis. I experience a lack of emotional attachment due to an abusive relationship with my plastic surgeon dad and the constant struggle to remain in the country as an immigrant, and I deal with regret over my past as a glamour model. It's hard for me to celebrate feminism without addressing pain. When Precious Child sent me the track My Little Problem and asked me if I'd be interested in directing a music video, I thought - 'This is just what I need, a bizarre queer male who is willing to bleed like me.' In this video we explored the current pop culture fascination with freeing ourselves from the decay and pain that is contingent with inhabiting a physical body. The question is, if technology allows us to transcend into conscious machines, unable to feel pain, will we feel anything at all but a pressing sense of existentialism? Here the lines between biology and technology, male and female, pain and pleasure were blurred. Vaporwave, goth/emo, and kitsch culture were an influence to this project as well as campy sci fi thrillers like David Cronenberg's Videodrome. Let's not forget graphic feminist performance art like Valie Export's grunting vagina. '
