Andy Mihov and&nbsp;Paul Romero Mendez direct a Christmas extravaganza for Kelli-Leigh.In their second collaboration with the artist, the directors explore the&nbsp;very relatable human feeling of wanting to love and feel loved, not just around the holidays but all year round.Boasting luxurious locations, dazzling styling and an overarching feeling of festive fun, it's a brilliant collaboration, which will get viewers in the right mindset for the holiday season.&nbsp;"Our vision for this video was to make it feel grounded and classic, like a film you love to put on in the lead-up to Christmas Eve… but with a tinge of magical realism," Mihov mentions.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"The most fun part was planning and doing the transitions, those are always nice technical and creative challenge for filmmakers. The post process was very involved and that’s where the strength of being in a directing duo is really noticeable. We could really share the workload and riff off each other’s ideas, same as we did on set. We had planned for our visual effects and animations to help create that storybook feeling to the video, and we had some really fantastic people helming that.""Bringing on an experienced producer like Millie Ansari was key to achieving this. There were a lot of moving parts to this both creatively and logistically for a one-day shoot. Our DoP and crew were phenomenal, and all praise goes to them for sticking by and believing in the vision we had for this. We were especially proud to receive support from the legendary Imogen Heap in the making of the video.[imgtoken data:2]"It was a remarkable experience creating this and it got us all in the holiday spirit. Feel like quite a few people from the crew went home to hang mistletoe even though it was still October."

Kelli-Leigh 'Unwrap My Heart' by Andy Mihov, Paul Romero Mendez

Kelli-Leigh is ready for some festive fun in&nbsp;Andy Mihov &amp; Paul Romero Mendez's promo for Underneath The Tree.&nbsp;In their first ever collaboration&nbsp;as co-directors and co-producers, the duo created a promo&nbsp;for the Grammy nominated artist and songwriter where slick performance vignettes have a&nbsp;playful and celebratory seasonal vibe, and Santa himself even stops by for an appearance.&nbsp;Kelli-Leigh's performance is absorbing and assured, providing a perfect focal point for&nbsp;the Christmassy concept.[imgtoken data:1]"We wanted the music video to feel fun, joyful, and big without coming across as pretentious." says Mihov.&nbsp;"We had roughly a nine-day timeframe in which we had to refine and develop a concept, crew up and shoot the video to be in line with the artist’s planned release.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Kelli-Leigh is a super kind and down-to-earth person. It was her idea to involve her friends, their children and celebrity bodybuilder, Armz Korleone as Santa Claus. We really leaned into that and built the concept for the video around her getting ready for Christmas Day."As the song progresses the setting changes to a more home video feel, as we see her interact with her loved ones and Santa. Many of us probably have a memory of a parent recording us opening presents on Christmas morning and we wanted to pay homage to that very relatable human experience."[imgtoken data:2]"Even with the best laid plans, we had to keep flexible. We had kids on set and two dogs! Sharing the directing and producing responsibilities turned out to an amazing experience for both Paul and I. We were able to minimize unnecessary coverage, focus on specific lines and verses for each set up."We’re definitely going to continue collaborating as a directing duo on future promos and narrative projects, both as creatives and friends."

Chris Chance captures an intimate one-shot visual for Deno's take on Lewis Capaldi's breakout hit.&nbsp;Shot live at the YouTube Space in London, the stripped back video features Deno alongside a pianist, washed in a wistful blue light. Deno's performance is raw and personal, capturing the intensity of the original whilst making it very much his own.&nbsp;

Meditating on the purpose of certain spaces and locations we frequent in life, Laurence Warder's video for Dreamland explores a narrative told through contemporary choreography.&nbsp;&nbsp;Set in an empty office space where many people will find themselves trapped in a 9-5 grind, this is the story of a person’s path, how it leads to this moment and knowing oneself to pull away. A contemporary dance delivered in a cinematographic way.A strong performance is elevated through a hypnotic variety of lighting styles and colours, representing the dream world this piece inspires.&nbsp;

New band Milk Teeth clown around in the video for Given Up, directed by Chris Chance.&nbsp;Performing on-stage to an upper-class clientele, who don't appreciate the music in the slightest, the anachronistic mix of vintage clown makeup and wardrobe with a&nbsp;contemporary aesthetic gives this video a timeless feel.&nbsp;The concept gives a nod to iconic&nbsp;rock videos, as the band&nbsp;produce their own take on a classic concept, it's a performance&nbsp;video enhanced by dark humour and strong performances all round.&nbsp;
