Directions (DVD)
Death Cab for Cutie presents: DIRECTIONS, an innovative anthology of 11 short films inspired by each song on the band's acclaimed album Plans. Every song, including the hit singles "Soul Meets Body" and "Crooked Teeth," were directed by a different director. DIRECTIONS also includes 2 bonus videos of unreleased songs. The unprecedented collection came about as the brainchild of otaku-house, the production company owned and run by childhood friends Nick Harmer, bassist for Death Cab for Cutie, and video director Aaron Stewart-Ahn. They saw the opportunity to enlist a variety of talented young artists to each make a short film set to a Death Cab song, without the constraints of the traditional music video - no arbitrary performance footage, the band themselves would not appear in the films. The ultimate goal was to create a series of small films that worked together as both individual pieces of art and as a unified whole.
