Known for their cultural commentary and subversive mixed-media filmmaking, director Chris Boyle and London production studio Private Island have unveiled this darkly comedic song taking a witty swing at Silicon Valley's tech lords.
Titled Bunker Boyz, the film dives savagely into the absurd and selfish obsessions of four recognisable billionaires. Rendered in unsettling, caricature-like detail, each band member muses on their personal survivalist fantasies – escaping to mars, achieving immortality and uploading themselves to the cloud – before admitting all they had ever really wanted was a friend.
The film’s impact lies in the medium itself: the same technology these men helped create to manufacture reality is used to generate their synthetic likenesses and satirise their distorted worldview.
