Factory Fifteen: The Bug “Function / Void”

Nexus directors Factory Fifteen channel Brave New World and 1984 for this sweeping and VFX-heavy vision of a totalitarian dystopia for Ninja Tune artist The Bug (aka producer Kevin Martin) in collaboration with The Creator’s Project.

Factory Fifteen: “There were a lot of mutual interests in the themes between us and The Bug (Kevin) on this project, both in the music and our narrative interests. We wanted to visually explore the narrative of a person stuck in a totalitarian system, using themes from our current society of consumerist lifestyles. The whole process was critically engaging and allowed us to truly build a world and then tear it down.”
