It’s a dark meditation on the limits and possessive power of love, and the transcendance of death through song. Or, alternatively, a fun song with which to sing along. As they say, everyone loves a good murder ballad. Directed and Animated by Jason Drakeford; Art Directed by Martha Dixon; and wonderfully lit by Dan Hollister. http://images.vimeo.com/13/76/21/137621120/137621120_200.jpg 200 150 1732485
