Käärijä x Tommy Cash – It’s Crazy It’s Party

A music video I wrote and directed for Käärijä and Tommy Cash, two artists tied together by their explosive Eurovision fame.
Winner of Best Cinematography, Buenos Aires Music Video Festival, Argentina.
Nominee for Best Music Video, Berlin Music Video Awards, Germany.

The film celebrates absurdity and excess, marking a pivotal moment in both artists’ careers. Following the immense success of Eurovision, the challenge was to honor what fans loved while pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and world-building.  The title suggested its own logic: one embodies “crazy,” the other “party.” The result is a hyperbolic neighbor story, where an everyday encounter spirals into surreal spectacle.

The project also features cover artwork collaboratively created by Tommy Cash and myself.
