Bottler – Weekend

20 Oct

“Weekend” was directed by New York-based artist, Dylan Goodsell. A grimy blend of lo-fi cyberpunk and cosmic horror aesthetics, “Weekend” tells the tale of a small-town cult and their on-air figurehead as they open a rift to another realm. Taking influence from old-school horror – namely the works of directors like John Carpenter and David Lynch – “Weekend” drew inspiration from the often surreal nature of public-access television production, as well as the idea of someone using their platform to perpetuate fear. Finding a way to visualize this paranoia was key in shaping the world in which the video takes place.
