Niall Trask directs a suitably bizarre promo for Gaz Coombes' Long Live The Strange. Living in a world inhabited solely by mannequins, we see Coombes go about his day-to-day routine, seemingly unphased by the plastic inhabitants. Diving directly into uncanny valley territory, many of the mannequins have their own style and hobbies - including yoga, football, and being down the pub - and Coombes' dynamic performance contrasts perfectly with the lack of movement and energy elsewhere on screen.
