Gracie Abrams — Short Film & Live Performance for Vevo Extended Play, Los Angeles, California, USA, 2024

In June 2024, American indie-pop singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams—whose album The Secret of Us (2024), with its introspective ballads on love, friendship, and coming-of-age, earned her a Grammy for Best New Artist and solidified her status as Gen Z's voice—released the 30-minute short film Vevo Extended Play, directed by Audrey Hobert in Los Angeles. Blending live acoustic renditions of tracks like "Risk", "Blowing Smoke", and "Close to You" with narrative interludes where Gracie reflects on the album's creation, the film captured her creative year's climax, turning studio sessions into an emotional diary. As a rare artifact of her evolution from teenage folk to mature indie-pop, this work highlighted Abrams' role as a vulnerability narrator, giving music cinematic scope.
