ARTIST PROFILE

Filmed on location in Washington D.C. over two solitary nights, Kelsie acts as the sole director, cinematographer and star. She casts herself as a conflicted protagonist navigating heartache within the confines of an empty parking garage. Stripped back shots of Kelsie brooding alone in her vehicle offer a quietly piercing performer showcase.

Juxtaposed are candid footage of happier memories with an ex-lover rolling in the background. Kelsie’s poignant delivery of raw lyrics like “There’s things left unsaid but you’re already gone” achieve maximum impact without superfluous stylings.

Through understated storytelling and Kelsie’s naturally emotive presence, universal themes of reminiscence and regret are communicated. The video’s minimalist approach amplifies the song’s vulnerability in a distinctly powerful way.

With “Parking Lot,” Kelsie Kimberlin introduces herself as a multi-talented artist adept at translating intimate self-penned works for visual mediums. It’s clear her original songcraft and growing directing chops make her an undeniably compelling storyteller poised for future success.
