Sarah Brand (MSc Sociology) films her ‘Fantasy’ music video at Green Templeton
Sarah Brand (MSc Sociology) chose the beautiful Green Templeton College grounds as the location for filming a music video to accompany her new song ‘Fantasy’.
The music video was released via YouTube on 15 June.
Sarah said: ”Fantasy’ is the debut single from my first album, ‘EyEs’. I wrote this song on my guitar in the bedroom, fantasizing about the life I wanted while feeling stuck in a difficult situation. I finally found the courage to rectify it, and this song represents the strength to manifest your desired reality.
‘I chose Green Templeton College as the location for the music video because being part of the Green Templeton and Oxford community represents a beautiful time in my life where my desired reality became real. And, of course, Green Templeton’s campus is gorgeous!’
‘Fantasy’ is available now on all major streaming platforms.
Sarah’s next single is called ‘Red Dress’ and comes out on 7 July. The music video was also filmed in Oxford and will feature some of Sarah’s fellow Green Templeton students.
She is pursuing her musical goals while also studying for an MSc.
”I am working on a Master of Science in Sociology researching the intersection of religion and politics,’ said Sarah. ‘This sociological curiosity fuels my artistic projects including music, screenwriting, and directing.’

A tour of the gardens through the eyes of a 15-year-old work experience student.
Maddie Bennett from Bartholomew School in Eynsham spent last week with the communications team at college and found some friendly faces too!
Last week, the college welcomed guests for a special afternoon marking the launch of the Pirie Society.
The event celebrated the college’s new legacy society and recognised those who are considering, or have chosen, to leave a gift in their will to the college.
Their generosity will help shape the future of the college for generations to come.
