QUEEN KWONG Releases Provocatively Visceral Video “I Know Who You Are” via Flaunt
“Though it looks like I’m screaming my head off, I had to stay nearly silent the entire time because we couldn’t draw attention to ourselves and risk people coming into the tunnel while we were shooting,” says Carré Kwong Callaway — aka Queen Kwong about her provocative new video “I Know Who You Are” which premieres today via Flaunt. “This was a super-fast shoot but it was probably the most challenging video I’ve ever done. There were only three of us — Joe Cardamone [of The Icarus Line] directing, Jacob Mendel filming, and me, and we only had one take to do the main tunnel scene because I could only break everything I had in my hands once.”

Circle releases single ‘Helen’ ahead of forthcoming album.
