XY&O "One More Night (Lemonade)" (Alexander Darby, dir.)

This video is for XY&O, a haze pop band from Cardiff signed to Kobalt Music and features adult model Lauren Brock (NSFW: https://www.instagram.com/ladylaurenbrock/). The band wanted a narrative about revealing a true inner self, so I built a concept around two-way mirrors and a model transforming from someone with untattooed skin to a fully tattooed look. In case it’s of interest, here’s a quote from the lead singer Skip Curtis.

Mim Shaikh "Triggers" (Alexander Darby, dir.)

Triggers is a new spoken word video by BBC Radio 1 Extra and Youtube star Mim Shaikh.  Featuring actors Sean Sagar (Top Boy, Ill Manors) and Kiell Smith-Bynoe (Gangsters Gamblers Geezers, Unfamous), it’s a thought-provoking film about how the choices we make affect what lives we lead. Which choices are the ones that trigger individuals to lead completely different lives?
