Lika O made the iconic Resorts World Las Vegas shut down seven separate locations for one purpose: to film her $1 million short film-music video for Shoot First. It’s not every day a luxury casino like Resorts World shuts down seven of its prime locations for a music video shoot. Yet, Lika O was granted that level of creative control on-site, turning the most luxurious casino on the Strip into a full-on movie set.
Directed by Alexey Figurov, who recently wrapped projects with Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa, the short film features none other than Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts in a lead role. Also starring are Benny Cleary and Emmy-nominated Paris Dylan, rounding out a cast that brings real Hollywood weight to the project. The producing team behind it includes Lika O, Kobee Acosta, and Paris Dylan, while the track was produced by Jean-Carlos Casely, with vocals polished by Grammy winner Robert Eibach.
Now that the video is finally out, fans are getting the full picture, and it’s been worth the wait. It’s packed with blockbuster energy, high fashion, danger, and desire. The buzz was building for months through teasers and behind-the-scenes glimpses, and now audiences can experience the scale, suspense, and spectacle for themselves. Resorts World has never looked like this before. Plus, no artist has ever done it like this.
While the music video is already generating serious reactions online, it’s not the only screen work fans can catch from Lika O right now. She also appears in Silent Partners, a gritty crime drama filmed in Florida and now streaming on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Vudu, Google Play, Xbox, and Comcast. The cast includes industry veterans like James Russo, Anthony Corone, Ciro Dapagio, Joseph D’Onofrio, and Gary Pastore.
The film premiered at the Miami Film Festival, with Billy Zane and Cuba Gooding Jr. in the room. For Lika O, it was a proud moment. Sharing the screen with veteran actors in a film of that caliber, in front of that kind of audience, was a powerful reminder of how far she’s come and how far she’s about to go. And now, with her short film-music video for Shoot First officially released, there’s no doubt she’s raising the bar on every front.
