Chase And Status’ Let You Go by thirtytwo
Tuesday, 3. August 2010 - 3:50 pm
Not so long ago it seemed that videos like this weren’t getting made any more. But now Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern (aka thirtytwo) have directed this compelling, searing tale of rank hypocrisy for Plan B’s remixer buddies Chase and Status.
Playing like Smack My Bitch Up with added context and (and conscience) it’s utterly convincing: the televisual dealer in dirt and exploiter of weakness and misery who’s more corrupt and depraved than anyone on his daily circus of revelation, humiliation and rabble-rousing.
A very incisive portrayal – played with scene-chewing relish by stage actor Glenn Carter, as ‘Patrick Chase’ – with impressively old-school production values, and superbly directed by Will and Dylan.
But they couldn’t possibly be referring to any real person, could they?

wow
the first 3 mins left me dazed and amazed
beautiful film making from all involved………….brave and captivating performance.
but then the last 60 seconds……….the film-making became to self conscious……….one moment i was in this world of TV bickering, tongues flickering……….and then it was……hang on…….not the old camera rig effect from mean streets……….and it all seemed to fall apart…….the spell had been broken
but what a fantastic first 3 mins…………well done directors, DOP and edit and actors and stylist……
