Gold In Them Hills
Music Video for Romantic Dividends featuring Speelburg. An homage to European film noir of the 20th century, set against the music of the retro-futurist cinematic soul experiment from Los Angeles based composers Allen Blickle & Josh Wiener.
“It’s hard to consider this as just a music video, as it has a film quality to it that’s deep rooted in classic cinema. Johnstone manages to squeeze together a dramatic and exciting story in a relatively short run time that fits the track seamlessly, it’s one of the best we’ve seen period!” — APEX Film Awards
