Duxius | Good Move
Pop, Alternative | 2023 | 05:49 min
“Good Move” tells a story of decisions: big and small, difficult and easy, spontaneous and hesitant. The decision to film the video for the song in the small town of Bad Sülze in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, however, was an easy one. Because Bad Sülze fascinated Edyta Rogowska-Żak, the driving force behind Duxius. The spa town impressed her with the abandoned Hotel Hamburg, the pastel-colored old houses, the lush nature, and the warm, highly creative people. A touch of Wes Anderson wafted through the little town.
Directors: Edyta Rogowska-Żak & Michał Żak
Artist: Duxius
