our first Clip from the album Ashishuri

Psantasher/ written and composed by Tai Nikritin And Michael Ben Shimon. 
A 4 month of planning the best clip we could think of, resulted in a total crises.
our main actor couldn’t come, and the venue we hired was canceled.
We almost gave up, but we decided to try and do it anyway.
For the main actor mission we were lucky to have a last minute rescuer – Boaz Nikritin, the father of Tai. 
Boaz turned to be our clip savior, by finding us a new location in he's friend's apartment in Tel Aviv.
Thanks to the director, Ruth Luar and the rest of the crew, Psantasher clip was ready to go in 24 hours.
