Today Danwei TV begins a new intiative to work with up-and-coming Chinese directors and showcase their films. Today we present a music video by Beijing’s original new wave band New Pants: Dragon Tiger Panacea (龙虎人丹), the title track of their recently released album.
This video was directed by Liu Runlai (刘润来). It stars members of the band including guitarist Peng Lei, himself a film maker who just finished a B movie called Peking Monster (北海怪兽), which will soon be featured on Danwei TV. Peking Monster includes animation and live action, and was self-produced and self-funded.
Other members of the cast include Pang Kuan (庞宽), Liu Bao (刘葆), Iwatak (岩田高志), Louis Shi (石哲, Jia Ting (贾婷) and Tiger (大虎).
