LESCOP: La Nuit Americaine Video

Today we have launched a brand new short film into the world. The film features LESCOP‘s ‘La Nuit Americaine’ and was directed by Sylvie Verheyde.

In just under 10 minutes in length, we see Mathieu LESCOP encounter in a distant and heart-aching love affair with a beautiful dancing girl. It’s wonderful to see such brilliant acting from an incredibly talented young man.

See for yourself…
