Hunter Hawkins - “Seeking Release” (Official Music Video from Awake: Pinky’s Journey)

Seeking Release is a part of a collection of songs for Pinky's Journey, an album film that follows the winding path back to yourself. This song lives in the moment when the main character realizes that freedom can't be found by changing everything around them. Instead, they begin listening to the quiet inner voice that's been waiting to be heard all along. It's a chapter about surrender, healing, and discovering that true release begins within. Originally written years ago, Seeking Release has taken on new meaning over time. Revisiting the song became an opportunity to breathe new life into it—reflecting not only Hunter was when they first wrote it, but who they've become since. Written, directed, and performed by Hunter Hawkins. --- MUSIC FROM THE ALBUM “AWAKE” by Hunter Hawkins, produced by Kenny Loggins Courtesy of Red Van Records WRITER · DIRECTOR · PRODUCER Hunter Hawkins EXECUTIVE PRODUCER Lisa Loggins DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY Alissa Wyle CAMERA OPERATOR & GAFFER Jacob McCaslin EDITOR Daniel Maggio 1ST ASSISTANT DIRECTOR Jonathan Betzler 1ST AC, 2ND UNIT PHOTOGRAPHY, & B.T.S.
