Existing as its own thing on a 7&#8243; single made the most sense, and allowing [director]\u00a0RA Image\u00a0to creative their own incredible visual narrative, without any direction from us, felt right too. All in all the project is a celebration of stepping outside control and one&#8217;s comfort zone, at least it has been for me.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the video, RA Image said, <em>&#8220;Filming Saint was the beginning of journey that I will remember as a director for a lifetime.
