Walking Off A Cliff Again

The Mint Chicks

Synopsis

Another captivating treasure from director Sam Peacocke (Vodafone Award-winner Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No!, Crystal Bear-winning short film Manurewa) this promo channels the kind of obtuse storyline that the songs of the alt-idol Mint Chicks were known for. It opens on a lego band ordering a comatose wraith in a rabbit hat to HELP. Sulky teenagers, feuding couples and a high dive into a tin bathtub complete the outlandishly art-directed picture, before arriving at the clip's high-water mark — the bunny boils over.
