Oliver Dressen is director Hero – a sometimes Shanghai, Brussels, Paris or Budapest-based filmmaker with a penchant for special effects. However in this video, Hero exposes an obvious love for 70′s chic, corduroy and bowling. Three guys battle for the attentions of a pretty girl who, of course, has a bit of a sweet tooth. It’s got a great sense of humour, both in its styling and narrative.
Hero took a meticulous approach planning this promo for Belgium hip-hop outfit Frades & Sika, producing it in just two weeks, doing most post-production duties himself. It all adds up to a very entertaining and visually arresting few minutes – even if you can’t understand the rapping…
