What happens when an odd but good-faith search and rescue turns terribly wrong? The music video for Nick Leng’s “beetlebugs” follows the uncanny story of an insect who asks a “Private Investigator For Creatures” for help in locating a missing loved one. Vacillating between a human and bug perspective—the latter is filtered through thousands of tiny receptors in compound eyes—an overly earnest and absurd hunt ensues, only to end in a dark, Kafka-esque twist of fate.

“beetlebugs” is directed by Brooklyn-based filmmaker Josh Sondock. Find more of his work on Vimeo.
