Lewis Cater directs a fascinating spin on the Frankenstein story, in this minacious promo for Los Angeles-based duo World's First Cinema. In the video for Make Me A Monster, we see a trio of dancers surrounding a mystery man, performing ritualistic movements as a preacher spouts Latin phrases from a seemingly ancient text. The mystery man and preacher were in fact played by band members John and Fil.Breathing life into the character, he is soon on his feet and ready for a sweeping violin solo, adding a sense of drama and intrigue to the project. Beautifully realised with top-notch cinematography and art direction, it's a wonderful introduction to the theatrical world of the artists.
