ABOUT

Official music video for American rock band THE REVIVALISTS
classic song 'It Was A Sin' featuring PORTUGAL. THE MAN.

Award nominated for Best Film 'Misfits & Mavericks' catagory at the Northampton Film Festival 2026

London Music Video Awards 2026 - Jury Showcase

Asleep in the back of his beaten up car, a cut and bruised man
careers along a precarious track, high up in the mountains.

A story about self destructive behaviour after a traumatic event.

A personal subtext is woven into the narrative, emphasised by the character design
modelled on the animator / director Stephen Smith.

The story unfolds in a non-linear fashion and contain hightened fiction
that questions the realitity of the events. Is he dreaming? Has he died and is in Hell?

Emphasising his troubled, self-distructive state of mind.

The video contains little clues to the character potentially being in Hell or at least a purgatory.
Plus hints of a past negative event involving heartbreak. Along with other subtle links to the director.

Directed and animated by Stephen Smith (aka WOBBLYLOBSTER)
