Produced by SMUGGLER and directed by OB’s Isaac Ravishankara this fun caper sees two loved-up ladies of a certain age rob a diner, hit the road and bury the money with the rest of their retirement fund out in the middle of nowhere. Notable for its refreshingly un-ageist casting it offers a host of surprises. 

The director described his goal of blending the story with Ezra’s performance: “we really wanted to anchor the video on a dynamic performance from George. I loathe simply intercutting a performance with a narrative. So we proposed an experiment, ‘what if George is singing WITHIN every shot of the narrative?’

"To pull this off turned out to be much harder than we thought. Working with the wonderful DP Logan Triplett, and our brilliant choreographers Jillian Meyers and Dana Wilson, we had to pre-visualize the video in advance to determine which shots in the narrative would correspond to which lines of the song. Then on the day, the concept was brought to life by our two young lovers - Amy Stoch and Michele Matheson - and obviously George Ezra as well! In the end, I think it's really fun to be able to watch the video with a different focus each time.”
