Convincing a family member to be in one of your music videos is actually more difficult than it sounds. Of course they’re supportive, but the only people who usually want to be in front of a camera are the type of people who want to be in front of the camera – everyone else stays away (After several unfortunate incidences, family members of the IMVDb staff have implemented policy of non participation). That’s why we thought it was pretty impressive that director Zach Van Hoozer not only convinced his dad to feature in the music video for the song “Hard & Young” by Zach’s band Zulu Pearls, he convinced his dad to let the whole video center around him. We talked to Zach about making the video and what it was like to work with his dad on the project.

Finished mixing a new jam for the first time in a long time at #voxtonstudio with the lovely and talented Francesco @donadello
