The scouts
Most people would call this a music video stretched into narrative; Lankester calls it a film and makes you believe him—five songs, one story, Warsaw to nowhere, refuses to pick a lane and somehow that's exactly the point.
A disciplined formal experiment that echoes the essay-film tradition while respecting the EP's architecture as compositional constraint; the real question is whether the marriage of musical form and cinematic time yields insight or just beautiful diffusion.
The decisive move here is treating the five-song structure not as connective tissue but as the actual *pacing engine*—each song gets its own visual grammar, and that tonal shift between tracks is what makes the budget feel infinite.
Reviews
"More of the Same Tomorrow" is an independent, self-funded, straight from the heart exercise in filmmaking, spearheaded by English filmmaker Ben Lankester and Swedish artist David Hedberg.
What began as an idea to shoot a narrative video in the band's hometown of Warsaw quickly escalated into an experimental and frighteningly ambitious journey into the unknown.
