Massimo Giangrande's 'Free to Roam' Music Video by Gianluca Maruotti
Massimo Giangrande, following his 2018 album 'Beauty at closing time' on Altermusic, has released a new single with a claymation music video directed by Gianluca Maruotti. The video, titled 'Free to Roam', is a celebration of freedom set in a cold, imaginary village where animals and people wearing cardboard boxes coexist. A love story unfolds as a cathartic cry for life without restrictions. The animation draws inspiration from Spike Jonze's 2009 film 'Where the Wild Things Are' and the 2014 animated feature 'The Boxtrolls' by Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi. Giangrande has previously collaborated with musicians like Paolo Benvegnù and Daniele Tortora, while Maruotti had earlier created the video 'Paper Plane' five years ago. The video is entirely made of claymation, showcasing a high level of craftsmanship.
