This video was directed by Julio Secchin, whose Vimeo page is worth checking out. We asked him for a quick bio, and he sent us a full director's statement of his latest video for Brazilian producer and DJ Leo Justi:
Sniper Queen is one of the most iconic characters to emerge from this year's Brazilian music-video production. Like Leo Justi's music, he blends the harsh ghetto lifestyle with sophisticated and complex elements. Patrolling the rooftops of Rio de Janeiro, he wears his unmistakable fur coat with shiny wrestling tights, portraying himself as a superhero with a sniper rifle.
