Samy Mosher's second video for singer-songwriter Emmit Fenn, following the poignant Far From Here, explores the world of actor Brooks Ginnan, who has the genetic disorder Ectodermal Dysplasia. An abandoned convent provides the setting for the video for Edge Of The Dark, opening with Ginnan sitting on a bed, staring into a handheld mirror, explaining their experience with this disorder and the resulting body issues that have stemmed from the condition. Stalking the halls and laying still among plants and empty spaces, we see Ginnan embrace the light and the magical quality of their own beauty, and transcend the limits of society - and indeed, the physical world. Ending with hopeful statements of love and self-belief, the video leaves a lasting impression. An excellent complimentary visual to Fenn's emotional track.
