This passion project is one for the books and it'll surely go down as the most dangerous production so far.
It has been in the making for a while and we're extremely proud to share it with you today.

Right after Christmas 2017, we got on a plane to Spain with the goal to document the notorious Els Enfarinats festival. It's an event in which grownup men attack each other with, flour, eggs and an insane amount of fireworks. We also interviewed the oldest participant: Ramon, who became the lead figure of the video.

A few months ago, we learned that Ramon passed away. Therefore, we'd like to dedicate the video to his family.

Also, we owe our gratefulness to everyone making this piece possible: Frank De Bruijn for risking his life getting the best Phantom shots, Mage Joe who was able to manage so much in such a short time, the brilliant Dani Trujillo Martínez Martínez and Albert Fernández Ventura who did an incredible job on making music for this piece as well as Fran Paredes for adding a lot(!) of boom!, Luna De Vittorio for translating, Maikel Botterman for the title designs and of course Ari Amrami and Scott Harris at Glassworks for making the colours pop and adding so much more vibe to the final piece.

Thank you all!
