Bangalore, India is the setting for the striking video for Wild Beasts‘ Boy King single Alpha Female.
It’s the work of director Sasha Rainbow, who has explained how the two parties came to work with one another:
“When I first heard the Wild Beasts song ‘Alpha Female’, I had the epiphany to film the growing female skateboard scene outside the Western world. In places like Afghanistan, Cambodia and India, skating has not been solidified as a male sport and therefore has had a massive cultural impact, teaching values about self empowerment through skateboarding. I thought India, with its colours and cinematic landscapes, was the place to do it.”
