Daniel Broadley directs a breezy performance promo for Pixey.&nbsp;In the video for I'm Just High, we see the artist hanging out in her bedroom, performing and posing until she gets whisked away to an outdoor fantasy land, stacked high upon a pile of mattresses and eventually floating out in a body of water.The evocative visual is a sun-soaked dream, and harks back to late 90's/early 00's nostalgia, but with a refreshing, understated twist.&nbsp;An absorbing watch and perfect introduction to the Liverpool-based singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist.

Jack Lilley directs a hypnotic promo for Ishmael Ensemble, featuring a powerful performance from vocalist Holly Wellington, shot in a single take.&nbsp;The visual is inspired by the rawness in the lyrics of Empty Hands, which was penned shortly after Holly finished a full year of treatment for breast cancer.&nbsp;“As well as holding elation and euphoria in one hand, in the other I was experiencing a lot of emotional pain as I started to process what had happened." Wellington explains.&nbsp;"Writing the lyrics, I was envisioning standing in front of God and laying it out plainly, ‘ok so I’m still here, now what?' This body has been through so much. Do with me what you want, this all must be for something, I’m here and I’m ready. Life post-treatment is undoubtably difficult, it’s been about untangling myself mentally and then focusing on what I need to flourish, and for me that’s making art.”[imgtoken data:1]This poignance and strength can be found in every element of the visual, from the unwavering performance through to the pulsating lights and overwhelming wash of colour in the backdrop. The result is mesmerising."For the video we just wanted to focus in on Holly's performance," says Jack Lilley. "The song really has a real drive to it and it felt that having her slowly rotate throughout the whole thing would enhance that feeling of slow, undulating rhythm."We also took the risk of shooting it all on 16mm despite only having the budget for two takes. However I think it paid off in the end as the texture that it offered just helped to give the performance a more authentic feel."

A young man trains for the challenge of his life, in Jack Lilley's oddball promo for MarthaGunn.&nbsp;Following the impeccable visual for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/07/12/marthagunn-holding-fire-jack-lilley/71843">Holding The Fire</a>&nbsp;last month, Lilley switches up his approach, this time creating a narrative video with no performance elements - and it works brilliantly.&nbsp;Starring&nbsp;James Copplestone Farmer as the Scrabble-obsessed protagonist, the concept focuses on the training up to a series of competitions against other pro players - each played by a member of the band in hilarious disguises. The debt to Netflix smash series The Queen's Gambit is clear, but that only makes it more enjoyable.&nbsp;It's another knockout video from Lilley and team, and deserves a rewatch or two.[imgtoken data:1]

Jack Lilley explores repression and freedom, in the offbeat&nbsp;promo for MarthaGunn's Holding The Fire.Tinged with a sense of eerie foreboding. the video tells the story of a&nbsp;woman stuck in a 70s cult whose worship revolves around completing mindless repetitive tasks. She slowly becomes aware that she wants out, and we see her plan her escape and the fallout of her absence.&nbsp;Anchored by excellent&nbsp;performances from each member of the band, the concept is pitch-perfect, blending humour, elevated horror and&nbsp;nostalgic naivety.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;
