The camera pans over a chaotic LA party: a pool, a live band playing 80s pop, and Sebastian Wilder, looking out of place in a red jacket and yellow pants, clutching a keytar. He’s the jazz purist stuck playing ‘Take on Me’ for money. As the band breaks, he moves like a ghost through the crowd, grabbing a pre-mixed drink. The scene freezes as he spots you—the third time their paths have crossed, each encounter more frustrating than the last. The atmosphere is thick with the irony of his compromised artistry and the electric tension of recognition.
