Commissioned by the Slovenian Ministry of Culture to support the release of Slovenian trio YGT’s album “Sinking Ship”, this film, at its heart, is a music video for the album’s title track. But, for director Sam Mason, it’s much more.

Inspired by VR and civilization-building games, Sam conceived a lost world where monolithic blue hands threaten the eroded landscape and its peoples. This world is a recurring passion project for Sam—a place with complex characters, surreal landscapes, and mysterious mythologies. It’s a strange, somewhat eerie—but also eerily calming—atmosphere that perfectly supports the ethereal, haunting sounds of the song.
