Director Saman Keshavarz partnered with Producer Francis Pollara (the man behind Cinnamon Chasers’ Luv Deluxe) – to create the Midnight Club EP. The music video stars Kendrick Kellawan as the protagonist and Mindy Brenner. Jessica Franz and Ben Barrett are co-stars caught up in the ultra complex series of events. The couple’s fate is illustrated through a suspenseful montage of kidnapping and lust as the protagonist works to rebuild the happenings and whereabouts of his girlfriend. Russ Chimes’ songs “Never look back“, “Tertre Rouge” and Targa are featured. Each song is a separate music video, but when combined form the trilogy’s narrative. Each separate piece is a part of the whole, which tells the viewer a bit at a time and helps to make sense of the immensely complex and nonlinear story. Check out the madness right over here:

Notes about Clara Engel, music artist currently living in Montreal:
“Her cavernous voice is unmatched, and her lyrics, transcendent. This is not girl with an acoustic guitar Lillith Fair fare. Clara might actually be an incarnation of the original biblical goddess/demon, Lillith. If Patti Smith and Sinead O’Connor conjured up an angel in a chapel in the basement of the Chelsea Hotel, we might be getting close to what Clara is bringing to town.” – Brian King, press release for the Cuckoo Cabaret
