Synopsis:
Watching the world through my daughter’s eyes and how she interacts with that world has been the most incredible experience. Of all my creative output to date, “Baby Girl” holds a place very close to heart. I wrote this spoken word poem as a love letter of sorts, to my daughter Anoushka, and all daughters everywhere. Every word of this poem is inspired by conversations and moments I’ve had with her. Through the video, I wanted to convey two important things 1) the vantage point I have as I walk often behind her, as she navigates the world while we are together, and 2) the sense of journey and wonder from her perspective.
Most of the video has been shot during my adventures with my daughter around Toronto, and includes some travel as well. The vision of creating a seamless walk over time, and many locations creates a sense of journey that I wanted to pull the viewer into.
The official music video is available on Anuj’s YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/omnesia, and the song may be downloaded via his website at www.omnesia.com.
 Director’s: Anuj Rastogi
