Known for his work with Frank Ocean, Bon Iver and Kanye West, Nabil, an Australian film director has teamed up with hip-hop producer Just Blaze and Mad Decent star Baauer to produce a short film inspired by their new track “Higher“, which features Jay Z. Centered around an ancient martial arts motif the film takes place in the Kerala region of India, the origin of some of the world’s oldest forms of martial arts as well as the Kalaripayattu warriors who are featured in the film.

Premiered by THUMP (the new electronic music and culture channel from VICE) and Priority Record’s, neither of the artists actually appear in the film and according to Just Blaze this short film might be just a teaser. Following a young boy and a group of friends who exact revenge upon a drunken enemy, Just Blaze says he couldn’t be happier with the end result. “To say I’m excited about this video is an understatement” he told RapFix. Perhaps the story isn’t quite finished and we will be seeing a second installment from the talented group.
