Background story:⠀ 
⠀ 
Buff, Wes, and Sterling were at Wes’ art studio, Talking Dolls, during a celebration for the multimedia installation of Web Model Dot Space, a collaboration between architect Aaron Jones and Detroit legend Waajeed the (work is featured in the film). ⠀ 
⠀ 
The whole thing started from a conversation about how crazy it would look to shoot a video inside the artwork. Since Sterling had his equipment with him we decided to test it out with “Finish Line” (prod. by Mayer Hawthorne) since it didn’t have a video yet. Long story short, what began as an unplanned, impromptu video shoot became this surreal experience that only Sterling could cook up. Side note this entire film was shot on Sterling’s iPhone.⠀ 
⠀ 
This film marks one of the many times the League has collabed with Sterling over the years including the Jungle Gym Jungle cover artwork, and the Boldy James Manger on McNichols vinyl art. You can also check Sterling’s production genius on the Boldy James' Manger on McNichols album. ⠀
