Rick Farin told The Fader, "Chino and I had been talking for a while about doing a short film together and a world-building exercise for PARADISO felt like the most logical step."
The video below was created using Unreal Engine 4, a video game engine created by Epic Games, the makers of Fornite: Battle Royale. The video also features songs from Amobi's Pardiso techno-electronic album.
Farin added, "The film is staged and crafted like some sort of carnivalized opera, and for me, this very narrative visual completely made sense to deconstruct in reference to the musical space of Pardiso.”
