Synopsis

A Hawaiian-shirted night owl heads out alone into the unremarkable streets of Arlington, Virginia. His evening unfolds through bowling lanes, beer stops, a diner visit and a series of quiet nighttime wanderings. The apparent dead end changes when he discovers a lively party inside a karaoke bar that had seemed abandoned. Rather than presenting youth as a distant memory, the video turns an ordinary night out into a loose, affectionate celebration of staying open to fun at any age.

Factoids & Trivia

• The central character is Paul Van Hoozer, the father of Zulu Pearls singer Zach Van Hoozer.

• The video's concept grew from old yearbooks in which friends had left messages for Paul under the nickname "Hoozer-Boozer," recalling his reputation for nights out.

• The production was deliberately personal and homegrown: Zach Van Hoozer handled the shooting and editing himself.

• The night unfolds in Arlington, Virginia, the filmmaker's hometown, just outside Washington, D.C.

• Several locations were found during the shoot, including bowling alleys, diners and a karaoke bar that initially appeared to be closed or abandoned.

• The video accompanied "Hard & Young" on the release No Heroes No Honeymoons.

• Its final discovery of a party gives the clip its central idea: a good night is still possible, regardless of age.
