What Happens In The Video? A young gay man is hunted by a pack of masked bigots who horrifically lynch him as his boyfriend tries to find him. It's beautifully shot in black and white, and flashes of news items on televisions playing throughout the video strongly indicate that it's set in Russia, making the video very timely considering all the anti-gay hysteria prevalent in that part of the world. What Would The Film Be About? A similar premise, just writ large. You'd definitely have to delve into the bigoted characters' lives and explore why they're so irrationally prejudiced. There's also the mystery of what was in the box that one of the main characters buries in a field somewhere... Who Should Direct? Winter's Bone director Debra Granik could definitely bring the right amount of grim pathos to the film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVjiKRfKpPI
