Will Hooper introduces London-based producer duo Sad Night Dynamite's debut EP, SND 001, with this enigmatic short film comprised of a series of intriguing vignettes - mini-films in themselves yet linked together by the band's music and a faintly surreal tone. 

From a drone shot of a white limousine at the start, Hooper takes us on a journey into the woods, to the side of a grave, to a party of pastel-wearing youths, and a mass attempt to blow out birthday candles. It is a deadpan black comedy filmed in the Czech Republic - a place where this style of filmmaking was pioneered back in the 1960s.     

The duo also make cameo appearances in each scene, and talking to Complex, where the video was premiered last week, they said that Will Hooper's film "serves almost as a preface to us as a band. We had written these relatively sparse beats which show glimpses of our first singles, so wanted to reflect that in the films: the narrative is open-ended, but hints at a larger story to come."  

They add that shooting in the Czech Republic "was such a great opportunity... Very few of the cast spoke the same language as us, but I think they identified with the projects tone and darkness — we wanted the films to have a message whilst staying humorous. There's room left for interpretation, but we intend for this film to act as the beginning of a wider piece, as Sad Night Dynamite."
