Directed by AG Rojas of Park Pictures, 'Close Your Eyes (And Count To F**k)' is the latest video from Run The Jewels' second album, 'RTJ2'. Graded by The Mill's colorist Gregory Reese, it's a piece grounded in contemporary social conflict.

Reese explains: "There's a feeling of endlessness in the video: there's a moment where they're in a headlock together and you think even the fighters have lost their perspective of why they're doing this. It's an interesting fight because the way it was shot and acted allows viewers to bring so much to it - you can look at it in a lot of different ways as it doesn't telegraph one message to people."
"AG and Mike Reagan are two of my favorite people to work with and I'm great fan of this band, so it was a pretty cool one to work on."
