Darius Shu directs an effervescent performance promo for Jason Kwan. The video for Paradise spans several absorbing vignettes, inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's timeless tale, The Little Prince. Making the most of the studio environment, the video follows Kwan on a transformative journey, visualised through costume changes and atmospheric cinematography. "Jason embodies The Little Prince, a dreamer symbolizing hope, joy, and boundless imagination, free from the shackles of greed, money, capitalism, and ego," Shu explains."As he navigates this dreamlike landscape, Jason struggles to hold onto these precious qualities, fully aware of the looming inevitability of their loss. The video poignantly explores this tension, blending surreal fantasy visuals with a profound message of holding onto one's inner child amidst a world that often demands otherwise."
