Overview

Why is this work relevant for Entertainment Lions for Music?

LCD Soundsystem’s music video for American Dream single “Oh Baby” is a six-minute mini-drama directed by sci-fi auteur Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Looper) and starring Sissy Spacek and David Strathairn, that takes on the big questions about life, death and DIY teleportation.

Background

LCD Soundsystem’s music video for American Dream single “Oh Baby” is a six-minute mini-drama directed by sci-fi auteur Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Looper) and starring Sissy Spacek and David Strathairn, that takes on the big questions about life, death and DIY teleportation

Describe the creative idea

Johnson uses the song’s nearly six-minute length to tell a simple story about complex things. Love is, perhaps unsurprisingly, one of them — but so is teleportation.

Describe the strategy

The strategy was to make a short film that was accompanied by music, rather than making a video about the song.
