A regular nine-to-five day in corporate America takes a memorable turn for one woman as vivid daydreams of a vacation in Barbados prompt her to take action – perhaps a little too late.

Creative team

Writer/director: Peter Huang
Producer: Mad Ruk Entertainment
Music: Avicii vs Nicky Romero

Filmmaker’s statement

Peter Huang says:

“I hope this video helps prove that there are no rules to creative work, even if it’s commissioned by an international A-list artist.

On paper, I think a lot of people might have said that this video wouldn’t work. There’s dialogue. A non-traditional lead actress (for a dance music video). An unexpected and ambiguous ending.

Most people would have said no. Luckily for me, Avicii, Ash – his manager – and the rest of his team are pretty brave people.

In an age where most clients are wary to do something different, I hope the success of this video will slowly let people realize that audiences are always open to something different.”
