Posted by Adam
RAPPER N’fa Forster-Jones has released a music video Heath Ledger directed shortly before his death.
The Aussie musician — a boyhood friend of the tragic actor — post the 3 minute, 31 second-clip for his song Cause An Effect on his YouTube and MySpace pages on Thursday, along with a video in which he explains how the project came about.
The Dark Night star Ledger — who died aged 28 in New York from an accidental drug overdose in January 2008 — shot a handful of videos for low-profile artists he liked.
Forster-Jones said the video was shot in one day in the garage of Ledger’s beachside apartment.
“He gave me a call one morning, as he often did at crazy hours, and he’s like, ‘N’fa, I’ve got this idea for a video,’” the rapper says in the online posting.
“He was basically running around directing me each shot,” he said. “It was a really cool day.”
“Every day I count my blessings that I got to have him direct this piece of art,” he said.
The video was first shown at a collection of Ledger’s work at the Rome Film Festival earlier this month.
