Starcrawler have just gone live with the video for their recent track Hollywood Ending.
It was directed by Gilbert Trejo who says, on it, he and singer Arrow de Wilde ‘got to bring their own favorite disappearing neighborhood back to life’. “Arrow and I almost started sowing the seeds for this video when we first met,” he said.
“One of the first things we bonded over was our shared love for old Hollywood. Not ‘old Hollywood’ like Golden age 1940’s Cary Grant and movie stars Hollywood, but old Hollywood like, our parents’ generations and Weetzie Bat’s version.”
“Washed out hotels, and restaurants like TOI on sunset. We bonded over freeways and 1920’s apartments covered in Christmas lights. The Hollywood we both got dragged around felt magical at a young age. Freaks like my aunt Vicky, and Arrow’s uncle Jimmy (who stars as the spirit of Hollywood in the video). John Doe and Exene’s Hollywood meets Tommy Lee and Bobby Brown’s. When we got the go ahead to make the Hollywood Ending video, we knew exactly what type of imagery we wanted to convey.”
