BOOKED: Stars - Benjamin Weinstein, director

Is there a more apt band than Stars to ponder the plight of the scientists and cosmonauts from the former U.S.S.R.'s once mighty, but now mostly grounded aerospace program? This video will be shot on-location in Kiev, Ukraine and will focus on one particularly down scientist who finds solace in a cabaret where Stars frontman Torquil Campbell is performing this track, originally from the Canadian band's 2001 debut Nightsongs.
