Water From Your Eyes—the Brooklyn electro-pop duo of Rachel Brown and Nate Amos—have had an eventful couple of years. In 2019, they issued their eight-song record Somebody Else’s Song, followed by their Wharf Cat debut, Structure, last summer. But they are hungry for more. Tasked with finding a director for their upcoming music video, Brown and Amos have set out on a seemingly impossible quest: to get John Wilson to helm their next shoot.

Armed with a camera, the pair roamed the streets of New York—specifically Ridgewood, where Wilson lives—trying to contact the filmmaker by any means necessary. They visit his local bookstore and ask neighborhood residents about possible sightings, but the elusive documentarian is nowhere to be found. Will they be able to reach him?

Water From Your Eyes’ have shared the clip, filmed in the style of Wilson’s HBO series, How To With John Wilson. Watch “How To Get John Wilson to Direct Your Music Video” below.
