Lika O Turns Resorts World into a Movie Set With Her First $1M Short Film-Music Video

Lika O Shoots $1M Short Film

While many artists settle for traditional music videos, Lika O took it to the next level—creating a high-end short film for her upcoming single. And not just any film—a $1 million production and a full-scale cinematic experience, shot inside Resorts World Las Vegas, a location few artists ever have the opportunity to use as their set. When she goes big, she means it.

Getting access to film inside a major Vegas casino isn’t easy. Resorts World shut down exclusive locations just for this project, giving Lika O and her team the space to transform the venue into a high-stakes movie set. The production value is top-tier, with every shot designed to feel like something straight out of an action thriller. “This wasn’t about just making another video,” Lika O said. “I wanted it to feel like you’re watching a blockbuster film, with every detail pulling you in.”

For a project of this scale, Lika O brought in a cast that could deliver. Academy Award-nominated actor Eric Roberts took on a lead role, proving this was more than just a standard music drop. Benny Cleary, known for his strong screen presence, flew in from Nashville, while Emmy-nominated actor Paris Dylan also joined the cast.

“These aren’t just actors,” Lika O said. “They’re legends in their own right, and watching them bring this story to life was unreal.”

Big ideas need the right people to execute them. Director Alexey Figurov, who just wrapped up projects with Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa, led the production, bringing his signature high-energy visual style. On the music side, Jean-Carlos Casely produced the track, while Grammy-winning voice producer Robert Eibach fine-tuned every vocal detail.

Lika O didn’t just star in the film—she co-produced it alongside Kobee Acosta and Paris Dylan, making sure every part of the project reflected her vision.

This isn’t some abstract, artsy montage. The story is packed with action, suspense, and an ending no one will see coming. It’s designed to pull viewers in, keeping them on edge from the first scene to the last. The visuals match the raw, intense energy of Shoot First, a song that’s already shaping up to be a major hit.

With that said, Lika O isn’t just making a statement with this project—she’s raising the bar. The industry is already buzzing about Shoot First, and with this kind of storytelling, it’s clear she’s not here to follow trends.

“I wanted to create something that sticks with people, not just another video they scroll past,” she said. “This is bigger than just a song—it’s a full experience.”

And from what we’ve seen so far, she pulled it off. Keep your eyes on this one—it’s going to be something special.
