Gabriel Blidö and Michael Immerman met after Swedish record label, Emotion, set out on an international quest to find the two least qualified people to direct a music video. Coincidentally, both worked at the New York advertising agency, Mother, at the time; Gabe as an art director and Michael as an editor. Despite the language barrier (Gabe speaks only Sweedish and Michael, English), they were soon able to communicate using only rudimentary pantomime and grunts, and create a video of which they're both very proud.
