Ron & Russell find themselves in 1930s Paris in pursuit of something just beyond their grasp.

The video trended on both Youtube and Vimeo, was featured on countless websites and screened at over 50 international film festivals. Described as “sublime” by French site Allociné, the video won five awards including ‘Best Music Video’ at the Hollywood Art and Movie Awards, USA, as well as being nominated for the Kinsale Shark Awards, British Animation Awards and long listed for the 1.4 Awards. Extracts were played on BBC’s Newsnight and The One Show and the video featured on the Guardian online and VICE news. The video was later named as one of the ten best British animated music videos by Anim18.
