When William Sikora III set out to make Lone Wolf, he had no idea what he was actually about to create.“I started out just wanting to capture some really great drone footage and take some epic imagery with my poncho. When the long day of filming was over, I felt so happy and free. I spent the entire day alone and managed to capture everything myself. That really was fundamental in driving this film’s narrative.

The Borderline With Brandy
Brandy’s seventh studio album B7 kicked off with “Baby Mama” which was a bright and colorful anthem to single mothers out there. “Borderline” was a totally different song about the struggles with mental health and a relationship that emotionally took the singer to the borderline. “Being on set, getting to film the entire experience, it was unlike other videos.” Sikora said.

Go behind the scenes and watch the making of the video. “It is such an honor to get to capture these moments with someone so legendary in the music game, it’s kind of mind boggling that I am a part of a chapter in this all.” Sikora said. B7 is now out in stores and available all music platforms!
