Slow Motion Addict — The Film

To promote the album a feature-length film was made called Slow Motion Addict, including a video for 12 of the 13 songs featured on Slow Motion Addict. The films were directed by Jesse Davey.

Round stars in twelve episodes based around tracks from her album of the same name. Throughout the cycle of songs, she plays the character "Maisie Scarlett", who at first glance seems to be an everyday type of girl but who in fact is caught in a nightmarish situation where a small part of her soul dies every day. Over time, she experiences a series of small emotional deaths and must choose to continue her surreal journey or engage directly with the demons who torment her. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Jesse Davey, the film is entirely set to music but is nonetheless far from a conventional video promo. The episodes became a notably addictive summer phenomenon when first released over the Internet.
