    Bury The Dead

    Eerf Evil is a rapper, creative & social activist from South London. #burythedead is a platform designed to promote freedom. The freedom of daring to move on, leave the heavy weight behind, and fly towards greatness. What holds us back? Bad energy, hate, fear, bullies, rotten souls afraid to face their inner self and embrace it. The noise is mostly coming through the people surrounding us. Sometimes it can be family, sometimes it can be friends, a stranger on the bus, a teacher, or a relationship. Anything that kills initiative, diversity, or simply the courage of others to dare being themselves. In order to move on, you have to #burythedead, stay blind to the noise.

    “A premise which could rival some of the most thought-provoking episodes of Black Mirror” – ☆☆☆☆ HeyUGuys “A cerebral sci-fi experiment…reminiscent of Black Mirror” – ☆☆☆☆☆ Vulture Hound “A transfixing and unsettling experience” – ☆☆☆☆ Starburst Magazine “Big themes and ambitious questions dissolve with precision in a poignant, thought-provoking sci-fi cocktail.” – ☆☆☆☆ Vodzilla “Terminally Happy has the viewer on edge long before the sci-fi twist. Those eager to see more of Istrate’s deft hand at sci-fi should looK forward to her upcoming debut feature EVE, a psychological thriller about the first manned mission to Mars.” – Short of the Week on One Room With A View

    London is a beautiful paradox. With a population of over 8 million, it can still sometimes feel like the loneliest place on Earth. To me, Holloway Road is London in a nutshell - a place where Camden-centric musicians live next door from Arsenal supporters, young families and international students, without even knowing their neighbours' names.
