To give the audience a peek into the inspiration of the video, director Jhovany Quiroz explained, “Night Runner was an exercise in organic film making with an emphasis on creating a visually stimulating experience directly inspired by the music of Red Eye Fugu. The ambiguousness of the project has much to do with the subject matter of the entire Watchers album, which dealt with ideas of the paranormal, conspiracy theories and cult followings. Inspiration really came from listening to ‘Night Runner’ and honing in on the mood that the track evoked and physically attempting to recreate that visually. I’ve been influenced by Darren Aronofsky and David Lynch visually and Gabriel Garcia Marquez otherwise.”

Red Eye Fugu’s Enzo Tiano also added, “After watching a David Lynch film, three questions come to mind; One, ‘is there a meaning to all this?’ Two, ‘why do characters morph just when you’re getting to know them?’ Three, ‘what the hell did I just watch, a dream from a waking life or a memory that never happened?’ Collectively, the visual and lyrical inspiration for ‘Night Runner’ seemed to dash its way towards the obscurity of life after death and the acceptance of things we cannot understand.”

In a valiant attempt to replicate this concept, Quiroz and Tiano ventured on to capture the delicate nuance between a man searching for himself and the night that cloaks the road ahead. Quiroz mentioned, “We both wanted to make a video that enables the viewers to interpret the meaning in their own way. For the most part, the character is in search of something we can’t put our finger on. I believe this is parallel to who we are as people.” Red Eye Fugu’s debut self-released album Watchers is available now.
