Directing duo Tearjerker&nbsp;-&nbsp;Hope Elliott Kemp and Ronan Corrigan - reunite with indie rock band The Academic for a&nbsp;cinematic tribute to the heist film genre.&nbsp;Set inside a bookies, the promo for new single Pushing Up Daisies&nbsp;stars the band as dejected gamblers, completely oblivious to a robbery going on around them.The second in a planned trilogy of videos for album Sitting Pretty, the video was shot at an abandoned electricity board in Bethnal Green, with an ambitious and very well-executed set build from scratch by production designer Ben Clark.&nbsp;In a big step up in scale for the directors, the video features thrilling action scenes, brilliant stunt work and a rather creepy set of costumes, and perfectly blends the offbeat conceptual elements of their previous collaborations with the group.[imgtoken data:1]“One of our favourite challenges is figuring out how we can fit the artists into the worlds we create," say TEARJERKER.&nbsp;"Bookies are grim places where dreams go to die, so we loved the idea of juxtaposing the high octane heist with the soul-destroyed punters whose lives revolve around the bet.“A lot of artists are nervous about doing anything other than a traditional performance video, but The Academic have&nbsp;never said ‘no’ to our weirdest ideas. At this point we’ve shot the band stuck inside washing machines, vending machines, a freezer, an abandoned water park and possibly the hardest challenge yet, on Zoom."For Sitting Pretty we wanted to push everything further and create a full cinematic world around the album."&nbsp;

The Academic 'Pushing Up Daisies' by Tearjerker

The Academic - Pushing Up Daisies

Jim Hosking delviers a deliciously daft, and ultimately joyous expression of female bonding for Warpaint's Hips.This has a quality of offbeat humour all of its own, based around the superb casting of this video and a terrific use of a classic English seaside location. Great stuff.&nbsp;“Hips has a scuttling intensity to it, it sounds like someone desperately trying to find something - or at least that’s what it seemed to me," explains Hosking. "I listened to it&nbsp;repeatedly and kept seeing women searching for each other in a seaside town. Ideas present themselves and it’s not about logic or reason, it’s about emotion. And here the&nbsp;emotion suggested identically dressed women finding each other in the English town of Southend-On-Sea.““The track seemed to have its own secret language and I wanted the women in the video to seem to have their own secret language too.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sophie Muller and Theo Adams co-direct an impassioned performance promo for US artist Benson Boone.&nbsp;We see Boone sat in a desolate, cold bedroom set, pensive and alone, whilst the camera floats around him. At the chorus, his body whips up into a zero-gravity atmosphere, before he escapes to a new location, breaking free of his metaphorical prison.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Extending their collaborations on the recent Kylie Minogue videos -&nbsp;including&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/11/18/kylie-minogue-jessie-ware-kiss-life-sophie-muller/73851" target="_blank">Kiss Of Life</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;this sees Sophie Muller sharing directing credits with Theo Adams for the first time, and it is another beautifully&nbsp;executed project, superbly shot by Joel Honeywell.It's also a great showcase for the charismatic,&nbsp;athletic Benson&nbsp;Boone. He gives a terrific, emotional&nbsp;performance&nbsp; - including just the right amount of dancing in the rain.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Clean Bandit's Jack Patterson collaborates with Eric Myers to direct the heartfelt video for Everything But You, in aid of the Campaign Against Living Miserably.The video boldly addresses the subject of depression and suicidal thoughts with a combination of grim, gritty realism and uplifting fantasy - and perhaps controversially depicts a scene of attempted suicide with has necessitated the video opening with a 'trigger warning'.At the heart of the video is a relationship story - and dance sequence -&nbsp;between the young man at the end of his tether, and the magical elf-like female alien who saves him. She shares the same appearance, and flying ability, as Clean Bandit's Jack and Grace, and vocalist A7s, in the Avatar-style performance set-up.[imgtoken data:1]Eric Myers is known for his work as a DoP, but in this case he hands over that role to Rick Joaquim, who excels in bringing two contrasting visual styles into one package.&nbsp;And ultimately the story delivers a strongly optimistic message, as explained by Clean Bandit in their support for CALM."The message of Everything But You is that there is always hope, always a reason for living. No matter how you feel right now," comments the band. "That’s why, together with @thecalmzone we want to tell anyone and everyone who can’t see a way out: <a href="https://www.thecalmzone.net/stay/" target="_blank">Stay</a>."&nbsp;

Rodrigo Inada directs Put It On Your Face!! - an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza created for Swedish lifestyle brand&nbsp;Byredo andVogue Italia,&nbsp;with original music by Danny Harle and Isamaya Ffrench.Featuring Ffrench with members of the&nbsp;Theo Adams Company - with Adams acting as performance director -&nbsp;this&nbsp;centres around the power of makeup, in particular the new line of makeup that Ffrench has developed with Byredo.&nbsp;Highly theatrical and dripping with slick styling and, of course,&nbsp;flawless makeup by Ffrench herself, the fashion film blends a number of different aesthetics and an eccentric sense of anachronism, to create something daring, original and collaborative.&nbsp;
