I imagine this is the kind of video Todd Philips would make if he wants to do his take on a Malick movie. 

Whitney is Max Kakacek’s post-Smith Westerns project along with Julian Erhlich and Ziyad Azrar (Touching Voids), and they’re already garnering a lot of buzz around Chicago. They’ll be gaining more fans when they hit Europe for a tour next month.
