Ian Roderick Gray tackles body horror through a poignant lens, in his affecting promo for On Man.&nbsp;The concept for Survive This focus on John, a man who is ravaged by&nbsp;a gruesome mutation affecting much of his upper body.&nbsp;After waking to find it has grown drastically and painfully overnight, and believing it to be terminal, he decides to end his life and die on his own terms, much to the anger of his longtime partner.&nbsp;In the same vein as the previous collaboration between artist and director&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/06/14/man-worse-it-seems-ian-roderick-gray/76818">Worse Than It Seems&nbsp;</a>- which saw a woman afflicted with an extra eye in her skin - Gray has a knack at tackling complex narratives and themes through body horror elements, and this is another project that knocks it out of the park.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]In a nutshell, the video is a&nbsp;powerfully moving and uncompromising depiction of assisted suicide, exploring themes of love, mercy, dignity and mortality.<blockquote>I felt a responsibility to create a visual that would do justice to the haunting music.</blockquote>"When On Man approached me to direct the music video for his latest single, I knew that I wanted to try and create another hybrid between drama and music video, but in a more refined way than our last effort," says the director."When he first played me the song I was overwhelmed. It was so incredibly raw and powerful and genuinely emotionally evocative. I definitely felt a heavy responsibility to create a visual that would do justice to the haunting music and to some extent, the song dictated the approach of the video."We bounced around some ideas and after reading an article about a tragic number of illegally performed assisted suicides that had occurred in France amongst elderly couples, some of whom were living with terminal conditions, I pitched an idea that was inspired by one specific story - and also from my experience of living with an illness.&nbsp;As a Type 1 Diabetic, this was also an opportunity to explore what it is like to live with a condition and how the condition itself can often be more of a burden for the people around you than for yourself."Survive This is a deeply personal music video to both myself and On Man - who&nbsp;added his own ideas and we wrote the script together.&nbsp;It has become one of the most rewarding projects I’ve been involved with."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Andrew Jim Gannon directs an enigmatic promo about the nature of relationships for electronic artist On Man.&nbsp;In the video for United (Why Can't We Say Enough), a couple find themselves trapped in a strange, uncomfortable space, locked together - united, in fact - through a violent connection of love, history and blood.&nbsp;Starting with an expansive wide shot, the camera slowly inches closer to the couple, and reveals the true nature of their predicament. To say too much would ruin this simple, yet brilliantly effective&nbsp;concept. But it's safe to say that the couple have a few things to work out.&nbsp;

Elliot Simpson joins forces with Joel Corry for another high concept affair, this time for I Wish, featuring Mabel.&nbsp;Inside a clandestine industrial building, a series of characters walk around with a digital timecode following them around, counting down second by second.The contestants perform tasks to boost their time left in this futuristic reality show, and if the clock is allowed to hit zero, they're out.&nbsp;The Netflix smash hit&nbsp;Squid Game definitely has inspired the concept, but Simpson has put his own spin on the dystopian reality genre, with a glossy aesthetic and brilliant performances from both artists - and a very absorbing narrative to boot.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It&#39;s the tennis duel of the ages, of the two best players anywhere, and possibly of all times. And forget Borg/McEnroe, or Federer/Nadal or even King/Riggs. This is the big one: Isaac Acey v Isiah Smash.Jackson Ducasse has concocted a classic (tennis) court encounter between the two sides of the super-competitive psyche of singer-songwriter Isaac Gracie, from an idea devised by both the artist and director. It manages to encompass deadpan comedy, existentialism, wistfulness, and a bit of half-decent play.Most importantly,&nbsp;both red Isaac and blue Isaac look very cool in their 80s tennis threads, so you don&#39;t even have to like tennis to like this.Game set and match to doubles partners Gracie and Ducasse.

Tom Prior plays a down-on-his luck singer with the chance at a change of fortune in this new clip by Jackson Ducasse.The neon-noir drama feels like if Nicolas Winging Refn were to make a movie in a London working men&#39;s&#39; club. The full cast of characters is here: the thugs, the bartender, the femme fatale, the unlucky guy caught in the middle of it all. Of course, there&#39;s a big bag of cash that changes hands a few times too many and a double-cross or two, but this is Ducasse playing to the genre tropes nicely.

Jackson Ducasse directs a moody midnight dream piece for Ritual&#39;s &#39;Drown The Lovers.&#39;Billed as part one of a three-part short film series for the band, this one takes place on the shore of a body of water, shrouded in darkness. In a dreamlike interpretation of the song, a woman (played by Ritual&#39;s own mononymous singer Mononoke) steps out of a car and enters the water, to cleanse herself of past lovers whilst whoever it is she&#39;s with remains locked in the car and helpless. Certainly a mysterious start to the trilogy.

Joao Retorta creates an unusually impressionistic, even headspinning tribute to&nbsp;UK Garage for&nbsp;Essess&#39;s Trust In Me, featuring Malika.

Gabriel Bruce is trapped in a reflective&nbsp;living room in&nbsp;Metal Soul, left to perform his&nbsp;idiosyncratic dancing in this bizarre,&nbsp;affecting video&nbsp;by designer and director&nbsp;Tessa Edwards. Expressive of his feelings of isolation and loneliness following a painful heartbreak, we wintess the singer&#39;s musings as he hangs around&nbsp;the&nbsp;disorientating&nbsp;space while&nbsp;singing his song and&nbsp;staring&nbsp;us down.&nbsp;
