For Syd Franklin’s "Stay," Monolithe produced a cinematic music video directed, creatively led, and edited by Michael Ian and Jon Sams. Inspired by the emotional weight of difficult conversations in relationships, the film follows a 1950s-inspired housewife as her world gradually unravels across more than 30 increasingly chaotic vignettes, blending stylized Americana with psychological storytelling.
