Quote

I'm a fan of the mythos of Atlanta hip-hop, and it's something I grew up imagining. It was very interesting to get there and see the real version of this world and then reconcile the differences between what's presented as Atlanta hip-hop to the rest of the world and what the real, breathing version of it is.

Too many things are possible in a dream. It's most interesting when you don't know which space you're in.

Image
I love museums, but I always thought there was something funny about a group of strangers silently staring at works of inanimate objects together. Each person is having a very personal and maybe even emotional experience, but it's in the confines of an extremely quiet and sterile room.

Even my nighttime dreams are very, very rooted in reality. They just start to become surreal, little by little.
Hiro Murai
Image
A lot of the music video stuff I've worked on is mostly me pitching ideas, and then if [the artists] have notes or thoughts, I'll integrate them into the idea.

Obviously the actors are incredible at being the audience surrogates in this crazy universe.

I like the feeling of keeping people off-balance and having the audience not knowing where I'm coming from or keeping that mysterious.
