There's a group of girls who do lots of DJing and publish a very "nice" blog.
They go by the name of "Sharks on Heels".
Alex has fallen into their hands in this pic. *:)*

Don't look so worried Alex.
I'm sure everything will be all right. :D

No need to worry Alex, everything' going to be great. *:)*

Remember those blonde wigs from when Alex was in Los Angeles? :?

And do you remember the mystery video she was making?

Called "Deja Vu" and it's due to be released tomorrow, Tues 5th May, by Giorgio Moroder and featuring that Adelaide girl Sia. *:)*

"On Tuesday, the world premiere of the music video for Giorgio Moroder's new single "Déjà vu" featuring. SIA. The video is shot in Los Angeles and was directed by Alexandra Dahlström and produced by Julia Gahne. Below, you will get a taste of what's to come. Disco!"

Oh my GOSH! :o I've been wondering about the mystery video for months! Awesome find, Fish! Can't wait to see the video whether she's in it or not. If we know Alex right, she will make a little cameo in the video. :lol:

I'm sure we're all relying on it. *:)* :lol:

One of the problems with living in this part of the world is that it's been Tuesday May 5th for over 15hours now.
I don't know why I keep checking the various sites to see if it's posted yet 'cause everyone involved is still asleep. :Z :T :lol:

Hopefully by the time I wake in the morning it'll be there.

Excellent concept and execution.

Oh, like the song too.

When I first saw the vid last night it had just a few hundred views on YouTube/Vevo.
This morning around 60,000. :shock:
This afternoon over 150,000. :shock: :shock: :shock:
(Mind you, it has a long way to go to catch up with Chandelier, over 700,000,000 views.)

I guess it's going viral. *:)*

The fun part now is trying to identify all the different girls in it.
Lisa Pyk for sure....
"So proud of Alexandra Dahlström and Julia Gahne who made this awesome video!!!!! Fuck Yeah!!!!! Also this is my debut of making out in a pool on film hehe."

Julia Gahne as well.
Suspicions of a few others but yet to confirm. :?

Bon.se also has a nice article and link to the vid. http://bon.se/article/videopremiar-moroder-ft-sia/

"We have found a super commercial channel for a symbolic cage, feminist fiction." In summer, the disco grandfather Giorgio Moroder out with a new album, his first in three decades. Now we can show video for the single Déjà Vu, which the singer and songwriter Sia visits. Video produced by Julia Gahne and directed by Alexandra Dahlström. Bon has spoken with the latter.

How did you come in contact with Giorgio Moroder?

- It was an accident. I would on a normal holiday trip to LA to hang with Julia Gahne, my BFF who also passed and become creative producer since she joined the American Film Institute. Suddenly we had the opportunity to pitch a smoky, hyper-romantic videoidé for unexpectedly large commercial customer and it worked. Disco Grandpa liked our idea.

What is the difference between making music videos and making documentaries, as you did as a director for Vulkano?

- It's fiction I grew up in since I started working as an actor in the age of thirteen, and it is always fiction, I will come back to. It was fun to try a documentary approach; it gives a lot of freedom, but it also has its own specific limitations. What is so great about this video is that we found a super commercial channel for a symbolic cage, feminist feature film. Love when the narrow and the broad intertwine in a single product.

Have you been able to take advantage of your background as an actor, even in this project?

- Yes. Actors tend to trust me because they know I know what they are doing and going through. Moreover, it is a pretty good poise exercise directing in silver to banquets, SWAN'S-DOWN and platinum blonde wig because I participated myself in the video. And it worked well, I thought of Shelley Long in Troop Beverly Hills and reminded myself that managers do not necessarily need's shoe shoes and washed faces. People will listen to you anyway.

How did you work out the concept for the video?

- Julia and I did treatet during 77 hours of manic skype conversation with dual screen sharing and short sovpauser. I wrote the script for a classic, American dramaturgical model and then framed us in and developed the story with hundreds of photos. We collected everything we think is magical, romantic and fun in one place and built a hazy, nightmarish universe around this song.

What is inspiration?

- 8 and a half of Fellini, our girlfriends and Ellen von Unwerths Scandal Beauties.

Why did you yes?

- Why would anyone say no? Moroder is one of the sweetest and most educated uncles I've ever had the pleasure to work with. On the set he teased me because I used metaphors, referring to Pushkin constantly. "Sascha, it is Because You are Russian, They are always too philosophical!"
