Is there a human being out there who hasn’t seen this video? If so, here is a present for you.
I think about it all the time. I saw it three years ago, which probably still made me late to the party as it had dropped the year before, but this gdang thing has been showing up in my dreams ever since. It’s about to inspire The MicroFiction Series Chapter Two (JUST WAIT) in such a blatant way that I’m claiming it now— yes I know. But you know what I used to live by a park with a parking lot and it occurred to me while I was there that I’d like to shoot video one night on that parking lot, and so maybe a form of this idea slapped a whole lot of us in the face in 2014 the way ideas do, but it was only brilliantly realized by Chet Faker that year. How’s that for a run on sentence? In any case, when I finally shoot my own nighttime piece, there will (sadly) be no rollerskates and we’ll be working with an altogether different narrative.
On another note, I slept with a nightlight well into my teens, how about you?
