Ok, I can see exactly what the brainstorm for that video looked like. "We'll pick Robert up, ride around in a car, and go to a party while singing the song." Done and done, a 5 hour shoot tops.
Wait a sec, was that Talia freaking Shire? Yes, yes it was. Well, what the hell is she doing in the intro of a Cali-Pop band's apparently indie video? I can explain that to a degree.
Robert is the lead singer of this band, Rooney. (careful, link has a song that autoplays) Robert's last name is Schwartzman. This guy's last name is Schwartzman, he was in Rushmore, I heart Huckabees, and The Darjeeling Unlimited. He was also the drummer for Phantom Planet when they recorded "California Here We Come" which wound up on the OC soundtrack. Anyways, they are brothers so that's why they have the same last name. Still with me?
Jason Schwartzman was in the film Marie Antoinette which was directed and written by Sofia Coppola. She is Francis Ford Coppola's daughter. The Virgin Suicides was also directed by Sofia Coppola. Robert Schwartzman, lead singer for Rooney, was in that film. Why does this seem so intertwined, and wtf does that have to do with Talia Shire?
Talia Shire is Francis Ford Coppola's sister, Sofia Coppola's aunt, Jason and Robert Schwartzmans' mother, and Nicolas Cage's aunt, I'm not even making that up.
So this kid is hooked up in Hollywood. Big time.
So how did they wind up with such a crap video?
