Jelani Blackman "Lockjaw" (Joao Retorta, dir.)

Informed by a line in the chorus - ‘My dons going straight to the topfloor', the video for Jelani Blackman’s ‘Lockjaw’ sees camera moving up a staircase at an undisclosed location, constantly finding Jelani on each flight in a fake one-shot. It’s a technique based concept presented in a very rugged manner. Camera moves hand-held at all times and without a clear sense of horizon at moments, creating a somewhat disorientating and claustrophobic feel as we keep moving up but never really go anywhere. - Joao

Moss Kena "Problems" (Ruby and Boya, dir.)

Black Dog Films announce the signing of director duo Ruby and Boya, with their new video for British singer/songwriter Moss Kena.

‘Problems’, taken from Kena’s March ’18 EP ‘Found You in O6’, was reworked with R&B outfit THEY and rapper Rapsody. Earlier this year, Hunger Magazine named Kena as one of their top ten artists to watch in 2018. A perfect pairing for the new hotly tipped director duo.
