Melbourne’s alt-rocker and distinguished filmmaker George Kalpa is today releasing his brand new self-directed video.

An accompaniment to the single ‘KSDB’, the premise for the video came to George in the studio, after staring at an old mic for a bit too long.

Trying to convince an actress to “make love to the mic” resulted in an unintentionally entertaining casting process as George explains “the casting process should have been filmed for some kind of reality TV show because seeing girls faces when I asked them to do that to the mic was priceless. To be honest not many actresses got back to me after learning what it is they needed to do. “Noir? Great I’m in!, Mic Loving? No thanks.” Karina and Tom were natural choices for the roles, they both understood the place where the vibe and idea of the video lived.”

With awards under his belt for a number of internationally acclaimed short films, there’s no wonder Kalpa has taken to the task of creating the video himself. The single ‘KSDB’ is taken from his stunning EP titled Mode which is out now via Bandcamp.
