Ethan + Tom direct a Tarkovsky-inspired video for singer-songwriter Ethan P. Flynn - a bold one-take of Flynn's performance in front of a raging inferno. Shot in Kazakhstan, the video sees the artist at first traversing a spectacular landscape: a lake, backdropped by mountainous plains and a dreamy red sky. Flynn is walking towards a light, which is revealed as a small wooden house, engulfed in flames. The video is an external representation of the inner turmoil of the lyrics of the song Father Of Nine, and as Flynn performs in front of the burning house, the camera smoothly drifts wider and then closer, to capture the intensity of the experience. And it's such a powerful image.
