Birdman

🎞️ Movie 5 min --
2011

Director David Fishel channels his surreal style to bring the song to life in this mesmerizing, unnerving music video/short film, complete with one of his signature surprise endings. Fishel's interpretation of 'Birdman,' a ranting, raving homeless oracle, is juxtaposed with the story told by The Brute Chorus about a shaman casting spells on his neighbor. Frontman James Steel opens his tale with 'I'm gonna drink myself immortal and smoke myself blind,' quoting a heretical hymn from centuries ago. It's an ancient start to a modern rendition of what happens when black magic just goes wrong.
