Having worked with artists such as David Guetta and Chris Brown, and brands such as Nike and Puma, Director Shapxo has developed a bold, visually lavish style that often blends contemporary aesthetics with the rich history of culture. That combination of past and present continues with his latest fashion short Chasing The Drums, which presents a Pan-African inspired world filled with dynamic, fantastical elements. In the short film’s brief 79 seconds, the Berlin-based filmmaker is able to use energised cinematography and ambitious conceptual effects to produce a visual feast that highlights the inspired fashion of Rick Owens and Balenciaga. With the film now available to watch online, Dn caught up with Shapxo to talk about his ambitious vision for the shoot, working night and day during the post-production process, and the challenges of shooting in an operating subway station.
