Freddie Cattaneo directs an absorbing promo for Tom Grennan reflects on the good times at the first light of dawn in Freddie Cattaneo's uplifing and atmospheric promo. Sitting in his car in a field in the countryside, Grennan relives moments from the night before, with the euphoria of the event and the memory merging into a sweet blur. In a storm of chaotic, cathartic cutaways, the video delivers a heartwarming feeling of belonging and community in sophisticated fashion. [imgtoken data:1]"I wanted to capture the feeling of a night you don’t quite want to end, when moments from earlier in the night start flashing through your mind as the morning draws in," says Cattaneo."The world needed to be raw, tactile and completely lived-in. Using the natural elements - rain, fire and water - we brought a physicality to the film, something you could feel, almost reach out and touch."The non-linear edit moves between the stillness of sunrise and fragments of the night before, to create the feeling of almost like looking back on a memory. We didn’t want anything to feel overly-composed or contrived. A big part of it was giving Tom the space to be himself and letting his natural energy and charisma come through."

Texas are back and Niall Trask directs a charming promo for the band featuring frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri alongside actor Robert Carlyle, sauntering through the breathtaking scenery of the Scottish Highlands. The video for Another Way To Cry features Spiteri and Carlyle in a reworking of an important scene in the movie that inspired the band's name - Paris, Texas - transposed to Glen Co, with Carlyle paying tribute, in his baseball cap and suit jacket, to Harry Dean Stanton. “I hit it off with Sharleen and the band, first and foremost; through a mutual appreciation of Thierry Henry<' Trask explains. "The band were very clear from the get go about what they wanted to do. The band's name comes from Paris, Texas and they wanted to borrow the mimic scene, but shoot against the backdrop of the band's Scottish home. And I was more than happy to facilitate."Robert Carlyle was in one of my favourite films of all time - Ravenous - and he told me some amazing stories about shooting that. I was behind the camera acting out the mimicking counterpart for him, it was an honour being told to f*** off by acting royalty when I tried to get him to do a cartwheel."I’m very grateful to have been given the opportunity to direct legitimate full blown legends in such a beautiful part of the world. Thank you Sharleen, Johnny and PIAS.”
