Iain Simpson directs a gripping and thought-provoking&nbsp;video for Rudimental x Skream, touching upon mental health, family and forgiveness.&nbsp;The video explores the intertwining lives of two characters in particular - Jack, a man struggling with his father's early-onset dementia, and Safe, a mental health nurse assigned to his case.&nbsp;The moving visuals take a look behind the scenes of some of the most difficult, tender moments the strangers share, and Simpson isn't&nbsp;afraid to touch upon themes of nationalism and racism - which ties into the end card promoting Samaritans - who are prepared to offer help,&nbsp;whatever you're going through and whoever you are.&nbsp;Simpson's direction, and the excellent cinematography of Lorenzo Levrini,&nbsp;very much lets the story unravel in an organic way, without any bias to the subject matter on screen, and as such represents more of a tapestry of moments, leaning into a grittily realistic aesthetic.[imgtoken data:1]

Rudimental X Skream 'So Sorry' by Iain Simpson

As Robbie Doherty has turned Suzanne Vega's Joe Diner into a club banger, all over again, with Pour The Milk, so it's up to Max Siedentopf to make milk cool all over again, in pretty much the only way you can these days...His star is a glamourous vlogger (played by Maria Richards) who is sampling a new product for her avid viewers - it's milk, of course, and she&nbsp;gets a bit carried away. She doesn't just drink it, she... well, it's better if you just watch it.The ramping up of this influencer spoof to live action cartoon of zany visual jokes is a hoot, and very welcome right now - and arguably the best use of milk in a video since Blur's Coffee &amp; TV.All in a days work of remote directing for Max Siedentopf, who is having a very creative lockdown...

Baked beans, charades and human brains... James Slater takes us on an unholy day-trip to the seaside with a charming cast of Hammer Horror monsters for Blossoms.Band frontman Tom Ogden plays an amorous werewolf (replete in double-denim) lusting after the Bride of Frankenstein - his best friend’s girlfriend.James Slater has a preoccupation with mixing horror tropes into the ordinary and domestic. It began with a band turning into zombies for Jamie T, and continued into his stately home giallo movie for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/02/13/circa-waves-fire-burns-james-slater/46099" target="_blank">Circa Waves</a>. Your Girlfriend is the latest pastiche in this loveable series. As always, his regular collaborator Natasha Lawes is close-at-hand with some fantastic prosthetics.

Two Door Cinema Club are back with a beautifully wacky form of lyric video from Max Siedentopf, who&#39;s taken inspiration from every single sentence of the band&#39;s new song Talk, and has created into over 90 scenes of colour-coded, off-the-wall visual wit.From using frontman Alex Trimble&#39;s&nbsp;head as a broom, to creating a six legged-man horse, and moving cheerful gymnasts into complicated formations throughout, the video gets literal, goes surreal, and is essentially a refreshing, breathless blast of tongue in cheek entertainment from beginning to an end.&nbsp;

Two Door Cinema Club 'Talk' by Max Siedentopf

Luke Bather, director and occasional contributor to Promonews, takes a satirical swipe (right) at modern ways of finding love in his video for, appropriately enough, Modern Love by Irish rock band Picture This.Set in a big country manor sometime in the 18th century, the Lady of the house has her faithful manservant show her portraits of potential suitors in a manner vaguely similar to a well-known dating app. Once she&#39;s picked three contenders and invited them over, the competition for her hand begins, with crass and naughty smartphone-era behaviour translated to the Restoration Age.&nbsp;This is the Director&#39;s Cut, and it completely delivers in terms of laughs, romantic comedy, and making a nice point about the way we are now.

Max Siedentopf&#39;s video for Yak takes us into an appetising scenario - an 80s cooking show, where presenter Olivia Burslem is testing the new Deepfryer 2000, with presenter Oli. But then things get a little out of hand...Fried is all about our unsatisfiable desire to indulge in things that aren&rsquo;t good for us. And this is amply illustrated by&nbsp;Siedentopf with his usual wacky relish, as Olivia and Oli progress from chicken drumsticks to vegetables and then.... other stuff. After this, you might want to stick to salad...

Luke Bather, formerly of this parish,&nbsp;directs a bright and bouncy performance video for Roosevelt with a difference: every bandmember in this four-piece band is the same guy.In fact, Roosevelt is just the one guy, Marius Lauber.&nbsp;But&nbsp;Bather&#39;s video reflects the proper indie band sound that he achieves on Losing Touch, from his second album Young Romance.In fact, Marius is so versatile, he gets to be in the audience too...

Mark Lediard&#39;s second video for rock outfit Glitter Machine is a fine follow-up to his first for Take The Pain, capturing a muscular band performance in a stylish studio set-up, and using in-camera FX that progress the optical themes of the first video.&nbsp;And Lediard adds a cast of colourfully-garbed characters, wigging&nbsp;out to the power-riffs of Black Bird, for good measure.&nbsp;
