Rian Brazil 'People Like U' by Racer
Rob Ulitski - 13th Mar 2025
Directing team Racer direct a melancholic, softly surreal promo for bedroom dance-pop artist Rian Brazil.
The video for People Like U is imbued with a frantic yet poignant energy, blending impassioned performance with experimental camerawork and analogue cutaways.
Shot at Dungeness on the Kent coast, Rian mulls over memories of a girlfriend - who is rendered featureless in the video.
"When hearing the track for the first time, we immediately recognised the fragmented and unorthodox approach to a generic theme, love," explain Racer. "We wanted to reflect this in our film, touching on the idea of a past romance but coming at it from a bizarre, ambiguous angle.
"We originally recce’d around Dungeness for a different location but when driving through the area we came across this cool looking caravan park that had a real 'liminal space' aesthetic. This served as the perfect melancholic backdrop for some of our favourite parts of the film.
"It's worth noting too that Rian’s such a great artist to collaborate with - he cares deeply about his visuals and gets as excited as we do through the process. His presence in front of the lens is unmatched too. A dream to work with!"
