Chasing the Drums – Fashion Film

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 energized cinematography and ambitious conceptual effects to produce a visual feast that highlights the inspired fashion of Rick Owens and Balenciaga.
