FILM MAKERS
Emir Kobilić known professionally as Salvatore Ganacci, is a Bosnian-Swedish DJ and record producer. His performances at Tomorrowland Festival in 2018 and 2019 became internet sensations. For ‘Boycycle” Ganacci has teamed up with director Vedran Rupic once again, with whom he previously worked on the music video for his track “Horse.” Sébastien Tellier also lends his voice on this tune, helping create a soothing atmosphere. “Boycycle” tells the story of a creature that is half-man, half-motorcycle and learning to adapt to a world where he simply doesn’t fit in. He then takes off on an adventure to find a mermaid, as it’s the only thing he’s seen that somewhat resembles him. This strange yet compelling love story is truly captivating due to its highly unique premise.

RELATED MEDIA
Quirky , totally weird , surreal as it gets … and fairly well done ( to a strict budget obviously ) to boot .
Which is to say … love it !
So which came first ? This ? Or the Progressive Insurance ad ?
I’m guessing … this !
Well … since no reply has been forthcoming … this I do know .
The illiterate idiots who did the Progressive Insurance MotoTaur ad got it completely wrong .
Had the morons done their research … they’d of known the word Minotaur derives from the ancient Greek words … Mino = man … and taur = bull . e.g MinoTaur … man/bull
Which means a MotoTaur … is a motorized bull … ( so in this case … motorized B.S. perhaps ? )
Whereas these folks at least … got it right … BoyCycle … half man/boy .. half cycle .
Sheesh … the things ya learns when ya has a decent education in the Classics .. or at the very least … are capable of dong a whopping five minutes of research .
Sigh .. the Collective Stupidity of America continues ever onward …
