Jamie Lawson "Wasn't Expecting That" (Bouha Kazmi, dir.)

Bouha Kazmi’s eloquently executed music promo for Jamie Lawson’s track ‘Wasn’t Expecting That’ is a beautifully crafted tender film. Its combination of brilliant performances and gorgeous visuals make for a moving watch. The powerful narrative is composed of multiple scenes expertly cut together, exploring wonderful and sometimes sad moments of a couple’s life together. Bouha rose to prominence last year picking up bucket loads of awards for his promo “Tokyo” for The Ramona Flowers, as well as being nominated for a Young Director Award at Cannes.

London Grammar "Hey Now" (Chris Ullens, dir.)

Chris Ullens, director: When this track came through for me to pitch on, I was immediately excited by it. I had been wanting to work with a string artist friend of mine (Sebastien Preschoux) for a few years, but we never seemed to find the right project. Then when I heard this dreamy track, with all the fluctuating electronic notes in it, I thought "this is it!" I had also wanted to do a video with land art animation in it for a while too, and thought this idea would work beautifully with Seb's strings and the whimsical tone of the track.
