Director Biography - Paul Dillon

This is the 3rd music video form Dublin born Director Paul Dillon. After seeing previous videos that he had directed for A Place To Bury Strangers & Cosmiscide, Federale approached Paul to write & direct this Film Noir treatment for their evocative, cinematic music. Also a musician, Paul was previously a member of bands such as Mercury Rev, Swervedriver, Longwave & Sparklehorse to name a few.

Director Statement

After coming up with and presenting the initial concept for the video, I collaborated closely with the DP Brett Roberts and Federale bandleader Collin Hegna to develop what we decided would be a supernatural 'Oregon Film Noir', taking advantage of the Lynchian 'Twin Peaks' environment that was at our disposal here in Oregon. The song is unusually long for a single, so we essentially had to storyboard out a short film and I think that the attention to detail in our preproduction comes across in the final product.
