A brilliant yet haunting video for Lorn by Los Angeles-based director Pavel Brenner (previously featured here). Set in a world where humanity has been wiped out by a widespread disease, “Timesink” follows a young boy who continues to act like a regular kid, treating the post-pandemic landscape like a giant playground. The video was shot last year, prior to recent events in our own world. Brenner states: “We hope you all stay safe, and spend this time with your loved ones in the midst of this global pandemic.”
