THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE SINGLE "WANDERLUST"

BY JACK PILKINGTON

EXT. SUBURBAN STREET - DAWN We’re SLOWLY PULLING AWAY from the door of a suburban house, not unlike any other you might see on any other street.

PAN TO SIDE to reveal a calm, quiet street.

Calm movement is interrupted by an ABRUPT PAN UP towards the sky where we linger for a moment on the vastness of it.

0:01 WANDERLUST BEGINS. EXT. MOUNTAIN - DAY (OR TWILIGHT) 0:06 WANDERLUST’S DRUMS kick in and we PAN DOWN to reveal a vast wilderness.

We’re surrounded by mountains and miles away from the familiar calm of an ordinary neighbourhood.

We’re APPROACHING a RAGGED MAN, JACK, alone in the wilderness, holding (or wearing) a rain coat.

He’s also holding a book titled “The Voyage”.

He stares PAST US, as if into the future, DETERMINED yet LOST. As the shot reaches him he begins to SING -- and we begin to MOVE BACKWARDS ABRUPTLY, as though JACK and US are connected now.

SMASH CUT TO: INT. CAR - DAY OR TWILIGHT FLASHES of a car and a road -- somebody taking a journey.

EXT. MOUNTAIN - DAY (OR TWILIGHT) “feel it in my chest to meet someone who knows me best” “23 one way ticket I’ve flown the nest” “28 back home I love life a little less” EXT. EXPANSIVE LAND - DAY (OR TWILIGHT) 0:37 CUT TO Jack continuing on his journey.

EXT. CLIFF TOP - DAY OR TWILIGHT Climbing a mountain, deserted and treacherous.

CLOSE UP on “The Voyage”. He’s still holding onto this book.

EXT. MOUNTAIN TOP - DAY The sun is setting on a a vast mountain lake.

BACK AWAY as jack walks towards this mountain, still LOOKING PAST US. EXT. EXPANSIVE LAND - TWILIGHT As the chorus hits a force pulls us TO JACK. Psychedelic colours WASH OVER JACK, EYES CLOSED, SMILING. SMASH CUT TO: EXT. THE WORLD - DAY OR NIGHT Abstract images of nature - A celebration of life in all of it’s weird, surreal beauty.

“I’m HOME HOME HOME, I’ve been here before” “Yeah I know know know” CUT BETWEEN abstract images and CLOSE UPS of jacks face SHROUDED in color, EYES CLOSED. “When I’m stoned stoned stoned” EXT. EXPANSIVE LAND - DAY Something has changed. Jack continues to sing but he’s BROKEN THE FOURTH WALL - is aware of US and our presence now - which brings a kind of serenity to him.

Throughout VERSES the colours fade away, JACK continues to sing but he still breaks the fourth wall, singing TO US.

EXT. EXPANSIVE LAND - TWILIGHT 02:28 As the drums and chorus hit for the final time, THE SHOT CIRCLE JACK RAPIDLY, REFLECTING JOY. EXT. ROAD - DAY The world is speeding up and we’re traveling somewhere new.

CLOSE UP of JACK’s face in the car.

CLOSE IN on THE VOYAGE. EXT. MOUNTAIN TOP - DAY Jack stands in front of the lake, arms out in the air as though he’s found salvation.

PULL AWAY leaving him in the wilderness.
