William Pope directs a charming, offbeat comedy for Dusted, the new project by Canadian musician Brian Borcherdt, about a dysfunctional English middle class family. 

The video for Baseball features the escalating tit-for-tat rivalry between a father (played by Michael Fenton Stevens) and his children, (Daisy Waterstone and Noah Carr-Kingsnorth), who take increasingly devious methods to one-up each other - all triggered by the father's selfish preoccupation with his model soldiers.

Inspired by classic films like Harold & Maude, Pierrot Le Fou and The Royal Tenenbaums, the visual is split into several chapters, allowing the narrative to follow a traditional film structure whilst still remaining playful and exploratory. 

DoP Simon Van Parijs leans into the indie vibe by shooting on film, allowing a warm, filmic palette to encapsulate the concept - and Pope's direction of the story and exceptional cast is pitch-perfect.
