Hermitage Green have released their video for Make It Better and it’s absolutely brilliant.
The video has been created and directed by Jon Hozier-Byrne and David Reilly, from Stoneface Films, and was filmed at Grangegorman College, which was formerly the Richmond Insane Asylum For Women.
Director Jon Hozier-Byrne says of shooting the video, “From the beginning of the process, I viewed the song as a deconstruction of female mental health, of the isolation of internalised pain.
“We were privileged to shoot the video in the women’s cells beneath Grangegorman, formerly the site of Richmond Insane Asylum.
“Working within such a claustrophobic, tragic space was a sincerely moving experience. The history of the institution, and of the women held there, is truly staggering, and a topic I hope to explore in greater depth in the future.”
