Winter introduces her new album Adult Romantix with an intimate mini-documentary that acts as both a visual companion and an emotional entry point into her world. Directed by AC Williams and soundtracked by her song “In My Basement Room,” the film follows a relatable story of a young couple navigating love and creativity, mirroring the record’s themes of friendship, artistic passion, and the complicated beauty of growing up.
Winter calls the story “pure, creative, powerful and based on a true friendship,” framing the mini-doc as a celebration of unconventional, nuanced ways of loving and living. In her words, “to live an Adult Romantix is to be pure at heart with an indie rock soundtrack along the way,” a sentiment that feels like the thesis statement for the project itself.
The documentary also illuminates how Adult Romantix emerged from a transitory period in Winter’s life — written over two years as she moved from Los Angeles to New York, saying goodbye to a decade’s worth of memories and DIY community spaces.
While the album itself indulges in jangly guitars, shoegaze textures, and nostalgic melodrama, the mini-doc shows those ideas in action, grounding the music in real people, spaces, and connections. By centering her rollout on storytelling rather than spectacle, Winter deepens the emotional stakes of her new era, turning Adult Romantix into more than just an album — it’s a living portrait of the relationships and environments that shaped it.
