Crookers and Steed Lord teamed up for Transilvania
the 9th episode of The Weird Girls Project

The Weird Girls of Reykjavík is a collective created and headed by concept artist Kitty Von-Sometime. It evolves episode by episode and the members mix between those involved from the beginning and new members increasing with every event. The ages range from 18 to 34 years and the girls all live in or have close connections with Iceland.

Each episode is planned by Kitty for approximately three months with the members knowing as little as is possible about the event outside of the date. This includes the location and the costumes. As standard there will be a photo shoot and they are aware they will be filmed. The main element of the project is ‘reaction to the unknown’.

This episode produced a commissioned video for Crookers. The majority of the filming took place in and on Höfðatorg – Iceland’s tallest building. The Icelandic winter proved both stunning and a challenge – the temperature dropped below minus twelve but the elongated golden sunset and sunrise threw every colour possible into the sky.
