The Stage 32 Videos

Here's a quick look at work from the Slingshot Creative Cohort.

The critical and popular success of our creative director Youssefverse's ABBA: Voulez-Vous music video in 2023 prompted him to come up with a follow-up project: a cool-ass trailer for the music video! Part marketing video and part talent-exposing/portfolio-building motion picture, the trailer showcases Youssefverse's versatile skills as an editor, creative designer and cinematic entity to be (someday) reckoned with. The music video and its trailer also represent his dedication to Disco, love of ABBA and his craft as a professional purveyor of motion pictures.
