“When we went to São Paulo in 2016, we filmed the ‘Conquer or Die’ video. We were so impressed with director Leo Libertini that we asked him to make the ‘Lying in State’ clip too (…) Many thanks to Kiko Loureiro for introducing us to Leo. I loved how Vic was holding a sword! ”

The Leo-led production company, Libertà Filmes, has received numerous awards such as the Latin Grammy, Cannes and Clio over the years.
