New Pack AD video – ‘So What’
Pack A.D. have just released a new video for “So What”. According to a media release, the Vancouver duo’s guitarist Becky Black claims the song is “based on a true story.” Drummer Maya Miller added “you know your friendship game is strong when you can get your friend to be naked in a video.”
Matt Leaf directed the video. Leaf is quoted as saying: “Honestly, from the second they offered me this video, I was over the moon. I thought Maya was kidding when she said she wanted me to make a horror/sci-fi themed video. How could this be possible? I’ve spent my career as a director wanting to make a name for myself in horror and sci-fi, but most of the labels and bands I work with are mainstream pop and want that Disney-style kinda video. I love Disney, and working for pop artists, don’t get me wrong, but my heart is in genre filmmaking. The video we made for ‘So What’ is an homage to so many influential horror and sci-fi films, and is extremely personal to me. I got to season the video with little love notes from all my favorite sci-fi films! They allowed me the opportunity to make the video of my dreams, and goddamn if this isn’t it.”
