Oska Zaky directs a poignant,&nbsp;tender promo for Jack Vallier.&nbsp;Exploring Jack's experience with chronic fatigue syndrome and&nbsp;insomnia, the video plays out as a visual story, blending abstract concepts and narrative snapshots to visualise the artist's day to day life."There are two key elements in this video - the black balloons and the bed," Zaky explains."The black balloons represent Jack carrying around his fatigue, distress and emotion in everyday life when he manages to leave his bed. The bed is where Jack ponders his thoughts and emotions."Visually rich and emotionally engaging, it's a powerful video that balances reality and fantasy to brilliant effect.&nbsp;

Joseph Falcovici directs a touching promo for Circa Waves' Carry You Home - a portrait of two friends in the twilight of their youth, as they whittle away the time exploring their environment.Naturalistic in its presentation, the video captures candid shots of the two characters in an intimate, authentic way. Though there is no dialogue - and as a result, many of the talking scenes are mysterious in their context&nbsp;- we can use our own experiences to imagine what is being said, and to empathise with the emotions the friends experience during their adventures.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;"It’s a video for everyone who found themselves growing up in a small town wishing to leave, and their close friends they left behind then they did," says Falcovici.&nbsp;"The lyrics have an undertone of a father being worried that climate change may fundamentally change the world his son grows up in."Brutalist architecture was an expression of post-war optimism and a re-imagining of how society might live in the future," he continues.&nbsp;"Many of these structures have since become dilapidated or even demolished. These buildings are relics of the past’s imagined future in a time where the future is a major cause anxiety for younger generations. I wanted to contrast interactions with those imposing concrete structures and the fragile natural world we may lose."

Oska Zaky directs a thoughtful promo for alt-soul artist The Isle Of CC.&nbsp;Exploring the gradual realisation of the artist's gender fluidity, the video sees CC stuck in a dreamlike flow, stuck in limbo whilst the artistic vignettes play out on-screen.&nbsp;The theatrical art direction in the interior scenes contrasts against the natural landscapes, and the transition from black and white to full colour also represents the theme of evolution present in the concept.&nbsp;

Oska Zaky directs a thought-provoking promo for Indigo Eyes.&nbsp;The video tells the story of a troubled relationship clinging onto the faintest glimmer of life, and follows a couple hanging out in the streets of London, going through the motions and trying to connect on a deeper level.&nbsp;The soft, naturalistic aesthetic feels&nbsp;dreamlike and illusory, and the intimate, lingering shots of both characters elevates the emotional arc of the concept.&nbsp;

Oska Zaky has directed a heartwrenching promo for Insincere Jack's Melody, in collaboration with the hiphop trio, highlighting the issues surrounding&nbsp;youth suicide.&nbsp;The film is an impressive visualisation of the song - all about&nbsp;Jack, a teenager whose life comes to a tragic&nbsp;end, as a result of events that could in truth happen to any teenager, including a failed romance and overdependence on drugs.What makes this exceptional work is how the arc of Jack's story is dramatised, with excellent performances from its young cast - not least from Cameron Lewis, who plays Jack. His portrayal of the young man's&nbsp;journey -&nbsp;from cheeky, optimistic teen, who through a series of commonplace&nbsp;events and actions, becomes the person who sees all&nbsp;hope and promise extinguished - is a really outstanding screen performance.[imgtoken data:1]This narrative is supported by the impassioned performance of the song by Insincere, acting as narrators. We see the trio traversing different London cityscapes, and performing as the narrative matches the arc of the track.&nbsp;It is anything but insincere. The sensitive approach to such a raw, important subject is a credit to&nbsp;directors Zaky, Insincere and everyone involved. The result is powerful, the cause is important, and this should be seen.• The content contains suicide self-harm topics. Viewer discretion is advised.&nbsp;
