ALCOHOLIC FAITH MISSION - Legacy

When a pet dies, what do you do? For one young girl with a fascination for death and anthropology, this question leads to a flood of answers as she considers the full histories of human funerals, across time and cultures, for her beloved mouse. Director Bryn Chainey articulates each of these make-shift funerals for the deceased with D.I.Y. handcrafted charm. This is an amazing video with an incredible vision and distinctive style. “Legacy” is from the Danish indie band’s recently released And The Running With Insanity EP.
