Lowswimmer 'IRL' by Leo Villares, Victor Nauwynck
Rob Ulitski - 10th Feb 2025
Leo Villares and Victor Nauwynck venture into Rocky Horror territory with their visually inventive romp into the world of mad scientists and their botched creations for English multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Ed Tullett - aka Lowswimmer.
In the video for IRL we enter the depths of a factory-turned-laboratory, to discover the twin creations of the latest cloning experiment by a trio of suspiciously excitable white-coated scientists. And then the girls are introduced to their 'siblings' - the results of the scientists' previous experiments.
With events escalating from the girls' initial wonder at their setting, to cartoonish body horror and beyond, Villares and Nauwynck establish a wild comic tone and sense of the unpredictable in this low budget gem, summed up in a remarkable sequence involving both a regurgitation and a tug of war. It's impossible to tear your eyes away from.Â
This is an impressively well-crafted production, with excellent practical effects, SFX make-up and cinematography, helmed by a UK-based Brazilian/Belgian directing partnership with a strong vision drawn from a wealth of cinematic influences. And it was shot in Pope's Yard Brewery in Watford. Excellent work.
