NOSTALGIA – SAIKO (2025)
ZEREK CASTING led the street casting for NOSTALGIA, the official music video for Spanish artist SAIKO, part of his introspective audiovisual project NATSUKASHII YORU. The video unfolds like a lucid dream — a visual reflection on emotional absence, fleeting intimacy, and youth suspended in memory.
Our brief was to find real people with striking presence and emotional depth — not trained actors, but individuals who could convey vulnerability, nostalgia, and tension simply through their energy and gaze. The casting process focused on diverse gender expressions, ethnic backgrounds, and non-stereotypical beauty, reflecting the raw, cinematic tone of the project.
Shot in Barcelona, the video moves between stillness and intensity, and the cast becomes part of its architecture — melancholic, beautiful, and detached.
