I've loved Autograf's music for years. I contacted them on Instagram with a pitch for a music video for their song, Casual Love. They sent me this song and I wrote a pitch over the weekend and it was green-lit about a month later, delivered about six weeks after my 30th birthday. It was the best birthday present I've ever gotten.
