About the video:
Cross Atlantic, a duo and couple, are Karli Chayne of Bolivar, Missouri and James Sinclair-Stott of Huddersfield, United Kingdom. This video tells the story of their romantic and musical partnership, beginning with a loose depiction of their first meeting in Nashville coffee shop Crema, which James visited during a four-month stay in the US in 2015.

The video, which was cast to feature many of the duo’s close friends and family, also depicts a few other real-life love stories and relationships. In the piano-room rehearsal scene, Nashville songwriter, Bryan Austin, a frequent collaborator with Cross Atlantic, can be spotted with his wife as he is greeted by James. Porter Howell songwriter/guitarist and original member of the 90's country band Little Texas ("What Might Have Been," "God Blessed Texas") and the duo's manager, Michelle Goble are shown meeting on a dating app as they did in real life. Cross Atlantic drummer, Ricky Ficarelli brings a drink to his now wife Gia during the party scene just like when they met four years earlier and Mary Sarah, an alum of “The Voice” can be seen with a romantic interest, emerging country artist, David Tucker during the party and hallway scenes. In another scene, James is shown meeting Karli’s real-life parents, Jeff and Cristi Duren.

At the end of the video James proposes to Karli as they walk off stage and into the crowd following a Cross Atlantic performance. Though the specifics of this proposal were fictionalized, Karli and James did, in fact, film this video while engaged and were married outside of Nashville a few weeks after production on September 24th.

"This video is extra special to us because it includes not only an insight to our story but also real-life love stories and relationships of several of our family and friends," says Karli. "It was such a fun and special way to include them in what we do,” adds James.

“Everybody’s Looking for Love” directed by Jon Karr is a one-shot video filmed in one-take on a compact one-camera rig in order to accommodate the environment and closely follow the actors. It was shot at a creative writing and rehearsal space in Nashville known as the Trimble House. The video and choreography were meticulously planned in order to bring together multiple stories within a single space. Several actors appear more than once and in different scenes, requiring extensive pre-production and blocking so that each actor knew precisely when and where they needed to appear. This meant determining an exact route for the camera before anything else, which strained improvisation, but helped to create a streamlined and well-flowing final product.
