Found a vimeo video of this..

I'll Stick Around - Arckid

Another video directed by Joaquin..

Siversun Pickups - Little Lover's So Polite

The boy in the video is one of Joaquin's nephews.

Directed by actor Joaquin Phoenix, the clip for the beguiling track was shot late at night in downtown Los Angeles .

"We were touring heavily and just came up from a secret show in San Diego for the shoot, so we were a bit frazzled," SSPU frontman Brian Aubert tells Spinner. "We were standing, and sometimes strapped in to flatbed trucks, and just whizzed around downtown. It was from 2 to 6 in the morning, but it gave us the needed energy to perform. It was nuts."

According to Aubert, Phoenix and the band hadn't had a previous affiliation. The actor-turned-video director -- who has lensed vids for People In Planes and She Wants Revenge -- merely submitted a treatment. "It ran along with our philosophy of how we approach music," Aubert continues. "Simple, casually edited, solid color schemes and no filler. It was real. That's what it looked like for one late night in our lives."

Our Joaquin's not just a pretty face, you know.  I'd love to see Joaquin direct more videos. I think he's taken some inspiration from Michael Muller, especially with the intensity of colours.

Quote:

I guess the fact that Joaquin had a connection and interest in the music industry made the whole "I'm still here" story more plausible and that's why so many people are still confused as to whether it was real or not 

Hi Justme  I don't know which nephew it is and I remember that info from when the video first came out. Someone on one of the forums back then had the details. I think he looks a bit like a young Joaquin as well.

I like the LLSP song too - in fact I like them all apart from Tear You Apart. I like the video and it's not like I hate the song but there's something in the music which makes me feel a bit queasy.
