SHORT SYNOPSIS DIRECTOR THEO SKUDRA TAKES MUSIC VIDEOS TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH NOKIA, DRAKE’S LATEST VISUAL MASTERPIECE. PRODUCED BY DENIM AND SHOT ON 65MM FILM WITH IMAX CAMERAS, THE VIDEO MERGES HIGH-SCALE CINEMATIC TECHNIQUES WITH CUSTOM-BUILT SET PIECES.FROM 20-FOOT OVO MONOLITHS AND A 50-FOOT BLIMP, TO CHROME HEARTS VEHICLES, A CUSTOM-BUILT LED CORRIDOR, AND OVER 100 PERFORMERS INCLUDING CARIBANA DANCERS AND LIVE OWLS, EVERY DETAIL WAS CRAFTED FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT. NOKIA IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN CANADIAN—AND SPECIFICALLY TORONTO—CULTURE. FROM THE VISUALS TO THE PREMIERE, THE VIDEO IS A LOVE LETTER TO THE CITY.
