The goal is to produce a video clip that demonstrates the band's blues and rock essences. Similarly, the audiovisual work will show the director's creative traits and specificities, in a symbiosis between music and image. Cinematography will refer to the aesthetics of the 60s and 70s, the contemporary height of the greatest references of the band and director.
