Rich Aucoin presents his new video for Want To Believe
Rich Aucoin is very excited to present his new video for Want To Believe, from his album Ephemeral, available in stores, on bandcamp and iTunes via Bonsound. Rich and director Jason Eisener both grew up with movies like The Monster Squad, The Goonies, The Sandlot and The Explorers, and they wanted to create their own kids adventure. Starring the Halifax-born artist as Detective Wolfe, the video packs an epic storyline into three short minutes of reckless imagination.
It was incredibly fun to make, says Rich Aucoin. Shooting all night till dawn with a youthful excitement of creating something in the vein of so many of our favourite films. I hope people enjoy the hard work of so many people who put this labour of love together. Oh, I also hope that putting my real phone number in the video turns out to be a good idea!
In times like this/I wanna be a believer!, Aucoin shouts on the exuberant anthem mixed by Grammy Award winner Mick Guzauski (Daft Punk). It’s not surprising that he means all times. I want to believe, he says, and am on a quest to try to have as many experiences as I can to elicit belief.
