In collaboration with Costa Rican model Adriana Mora sporting a Lali and Layla bathing suit, Michael Orso directed and shot this upbeat vintage take on modern swimwear. The video was shot using a Beaulieu 4008 zmii super 8 camera on kodak 50D. The camera was handed down to Michael from his grandfather who originally bought it in the late 1970s. This film was shot at the Esperanza resort in Cabo San Lucas, Baja Mexico.
