A new episode of The Promonews Podcast is out today, featuring Charlie Sarsfield, a director who has enjoyed a hugely productive year in UK music videos in 2022. Over the past 12 months he has worked with numerous artists - including Kojey Radical, Mabel, George Ezra, Yungblud and Louis Tomlinson - often on multiple occasions.

On the Podcast - produced in association with Loop Talent - Sarsfield talks about his zest for directing, collaborating with the UK's biggest pop stars, and his strategy for managing a heavy workload - he engaged in something like 30 different projects this year.

Sarsfield - based at Untold Studios - also reveals that his impressive progress as a solo director has followed a serious health emergency he suffered two years ago, and the loss of the sight in one eye. He talks candidly about this difficult period and how it has impacted upon the way he works, and his skillset as a director.
