Great new video for St. Vincent‘s “Actor Out of Work” directed by Ian Kibbey and Corey Creasey (aka Terri Timely), Clark holds auditions for actors in a Los Angeles warehouse wherein they’re promoted to cry on cue.

Annie to Spinner:

I fell in love with Ian and Corey’s treatment instantly. There is something so darkly comic and eerily unnerving about the act of crying on cue. It feels like such a lie — a betrayal in a sense — to see someone burst into hysterics in one moment, and then, as if it had never happened, stand up, smile and go back to checking their text messages. Sometimes I had to restrain myself from laughing out of discomfort, and sometimes I had to restrain myself from crying — it’s as contagious as yawning.” [Spinner]
