Renee Maria Osubu tells the story of a grieving family, within the wider context of the Black British experience, in Dirt In The Diamond, a short film that incorporates three songs from Jords album, with the same name, performed by the artist.In the first part, we are introduced to the main characters at a family gathering at the home of the Walkers, prior to the funeral of their son, where Jords performs MoBay with Tay Iwar. It's&nbsp;shot by cinematographer Courtney J. Bennett in rich colour, with an intimacy that recalls Steve McQueen's 'house party' film Lovers Rock.That is followed by the funeral of the son - the procession behind the coffin and church service -&nbsp;shot in stark black and white, in which we hear iPray by Jords, Wretch 32 and Miles from Kinshasa. Finally, the drama is replaced by a montage of&nbsp;archive footage of Black Londoners from the 1970s to the present day - including footage of era-defining protests against racism and prejudice -&nbsp;&nbsp;as Jords performs Fist In The Sky.&nbsp;Renee Maria Osubu&nbsp;brings the personal and the political together, and interrogates the nature of grief - which one character describes as "the truest form of love" - in compelling fashion.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

It's a chaotic day of auditions as GHUM try and find a new bandmate, in&nbsp;Lydia Garnett's light-hearted promo for Some People.The video is a riot of flamboyant fun, and the slightly gritty DIY vibes add a sense of edginess to the concept,&nbsp;perfectly matching the in-your-face track."I loved making this video!" says Garnett.&nbsp;"This was all about hammy acting and alter egos, the band and cast were amazing and totally got the humour, silliness and the camp mood I wanted to create."&nbsp;

Dijian Eccles and Andre Reid weave a tale of love and loss on the skating rink, in this dynamic promo for Odeal.&nbsp;The hazy, dreamlike aesthetic is a perfect way to present the concept, which encompasses fresh narrative elements and authentic performance - plus some really cool skating tricks.&nbsp;"André and I wanted to keep the video on brief but ultimately make sure the vibe was relatable," Eccles explains. "The track was only two and a half minutes, so it was a challenge adding in a nice narrative element and&nbsp;some surrealism to the project. But I think we managed to accomplish that."The story is based on Odeal our lead, trying to impress a love interest of his. Throughout the video we see their relationship blossom and his skating tekkers improve over every encounter at the skating rink. However due to his own mistakes, his poor efforts lead him into losing his new flame to another skater who's just much better than him."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Nwaka Okparaeke directs an alluring live promo for Olivia Dean's Growth, where the artist performs her EP in its entirety.&nbsp;Backdropped by stunning custom-made sets, Dean is at home in the sunsoaked, nostalgic concept.Incorporating natural elements with elevated structures and decor, each frame of the visual is entirely absorbing, and provides the perfect visual match to the&nbsp;sumptuous pop soundscapes - and the reference to the climactic scene of The Truman Show&nbsp;is wonderfully executed."Working with Olivia on this video felt like the perfect match. We both genuinely connected to the ever-changing journey of emotions within growing," says&nbsp;Okparaeke.&nbsp;"For Growth,&nbsp;I wanted to create a live performance video that looks delicate and beautiful but takes us on a rollercoaster of worlds, reflecting how the songs go back and forth from assured to sombre, vulnerable to optimistic."&nbsp;

DMND CLR founder&nbsp;Dijian Eccles and Andre Reid come together to co-direct a beautiful short film for Loski's Music, Trial and Trauma.&nbsp;This film is based on Loski’s rise in music, and the backstory of him growing up in South East London, Kennington;&nbsp;a fast-paced environment affected by poverty, crime and violence.Despite the wrong choices the protagonist makes, he’s always aware of an ideal lifestyle, and dreams of one day making it out through music. Despite his intentions, however,&nbsp;it’s never that easy….Strikingly emotional, the video is beautiful, brutal, heartbreaking, but eventually optimistic - and a true&nbsp;tour de force&nbsp;from two masters of their craft.&nbsp;

B2 direct&nbsp;a breezy, nostalgic promo for Izzy Bizu's tribute to a classic British sports car, MG.&nbsp;Exuding Americana and late 70's aesthetics, B2 focus on the journey, a&nbsp;thrill-ride where Izzy and her man stop off at some characteristic spots - including a diner and old fashioned gas station.The creative team have redressed a handful of UK locations to look as if they were shot Stateside - no easy feat, and testament to some excellent art direction from&nbsp;Sasha Webster.&nbsp;And of course, it takes place mostly in the front seat of an MG car - keeping the namesake of the track front and centre.&nbsp;An ambitious concept with great execution and a feelgood vibe.
