<h2 style="text-align:center"><strong>Six rappers, each and everyone of them looking for their Nectar, meet up in a timeless projection room : the key to their unity.</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<hr />
<p> </p>
<p>Six singular rappers, six different stories, six ways to see the world, six ways to film it, all condensed into an ambitious 5'30" music film with 13 sets : another way to describe Nectar.</p>
<p>After talking with the rappers from Brussels based collective <em>Endor Records</em>, we wanted to talk about their own "Nectar".</p>
<p> </p>
<h3 style="text-align:center"><em>But what is a "Nectar" ?</em></h3>
<p> </p>
<p>For us, a "Nectar" is metaphor for a guilty pleasure, a hidden vice which we all have. In the case of this music film, each artist has a verse, which gives life to a story, story from which is extracted a Nectar.</p>
<p> </p>

<h3 style="text-align:center"><em>"We believe that music videos are an expressive and intense artform, in the same way short films are, and seek to take the best of both worlds in our productions" ~ 244</em></h3>
<p> </p>
<p>The <strong>244</strong> is made up of three cinema students from Brussels : <strong>Tom Coss</strong><strong>, Tim Coussement</strong><strong> </strong>and<strong> Théo Dupic</strong>. We know, that's a lot of "T"'s.</p>
<p>Passionate about the video artform, we have individually created content for quite some time, with a clear preference for music videos and short films. After meeting each other in Brussels, we have decided to unite under the name 244 to create our visual stories.</p>
<p>The three of us have a different experience of filmmaking.</p>
<p>Theo come from the world of fiction, having been a DOP on several short-films. Tim has directed number of music videos for various parisian artists. Tom is somewhere in between, having both made short-films and music videos in the past. </p>
<p>These differences in our approach of the video medium are an incredible strenght, which we benefit from continuously.</p>
<p>We also complement each other scholarly. Tim and Tom, who study editing at the INSAS, benefit from Theo's more technical cinematography course at the IAD, and vice versa.</p>

<p>Making a music film implies a number of locations and expensive gear to rent, costumes and props to create, but not only. To create Nectar, a team of 15 volunteers, which we have to feed and cover the expenses for over the course of an intense 7 day shoot, will be necessary !</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center"><strong>Join us in making this ambitious music film a reality !</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<p>For us, Nectar is the next big step in our creative journey. After 6 months of hard work fueled by years and years of exploration and discovery of a passion we share, this music film feels like the accomplishment of a vision.</p>
<p>For you, it's a way to help support young creatives in exchange of great rewards at a time where it's hard to get money from the usual structures. Without you, it will be extremely difficult for us to make this music video/short film which means a lot to us a reality !</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center"><strong>We need your help !</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<p>Together, we have 30 days to breath life into the lines of the script, and make a huge leap forward in the shape of Nectar. Take part in a fund raising under the sign of solidarity for a team of volunteers who thank you already !</p>
