Directing duo Sophia &amp; Suzie direct a heartfelt promo for Nick Wilson, featuring actor Jack Parr as a man struck by grief, silently processing a mysterious event as the camera lingers in an intimate way.&nbsp;Focusing on the subtle thunderstorm of emotions that come with grief and loss, the video progresses towards&nbsp;a more hopeful note, as the character makes a phone call he had been avoiding.&nbsp;Beautifully shot with a distinctly human perspective, the video is a fitting match to the track.&nbsp;

Ben Brook reunites with No Rome following the video for Brother with another ambitious visual for Elevator Music (OMG) where, appropriately, the camera keeps going upwards.Brook's video is underpinned by a perpetually rising shot which takes us through derelict floors, each subtly tying&nbsp;into Rome’s self-reflection and linking back to themes&nbsp;established in previous video. Then it breaks out into a to-camera performance enhanced with collage-like FX work for the final 'OMG' section.Blended with analogue textures, uncanny&nbsp;NeRF setups and graphic AI experimentation, the video leans into a dystopian, near-future aesthetic, which perfectly suits the concept.&nbsp;"It was inspired by the old Film4 ident which repeated scenes across a similar movement," Brook explains. "It’s always great watching everything come together on the day. It was quite a small space to work within."[Production designers] Set Sisters had such a task re-dressing for all the scenes, and Sonny tweaking and re-lighting to vary across new takes meant there was a lot of moving parts. But we managed to get just enough coverage after dropping a couple more ambitious/time-consuming takes, and we definitely achieved the desired look."

Bjorn Franklin and Johnny Marchetta direct a stirring promo for Henry Jamison's Make It Out, featuring Maisie Peters.&nbsp;In the midst of a volatile riot, two opposing sides find a moment of calm, which allows them to connect on a human level.&nbsp;As ever with the directing duo's work, this is&nbsp;beautifully shot, while the concept is universally relatable and thought-provoking - especially in a society as strained as the one we live in right now."Why can’t we just hug it out instead of fighting? We loved the idea of taking a high octane hostile environment and slowing it right down finding a beautiful moment where it’s not meant to be," explain the directors.&nbsp;"Maybe they might just make it out, maybe not but there is certainly hope in there somewhere."&nbsp;

Luis Hindman directs promo full of yearning for Joesef - set on two different crowded dancefloors.Following previous collaboration for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2022/02/23/joesef-its-been-little-heavy-lately-luis-hindman/75129">It's Been A Little Heavy Lately</a>, the video for&nbsp;East End Coast sees Joesef drifting through&nbsp;an atmospheric&nbsp;club packed with a mixed crowd of revellers and kissing couples. He is seemingly the only one alone among this hipster crowd, reflective and lipsyncing to the melodic song.The fact that he is pining from a lost love from his hometown of Glasgow is brought home by the introduction of another, slightly less crowded dancefloor, of a gay club - this one distinguished from the other also by the blueish tinge in the grade and a different aspect ratio - with Joesef himself in a smooch with a boy.[imgtoken data:1]It's an evocative&nbsp;display of love and loss, told through an atmospheric and hyperreal aesthetic, beautifully shot by Sam Meyer. Joesef also gives an excellent downbeat performance amid the fevered atmosphere&nbsp;of the London club, and Luis Hindman handles this tricky juxtaposition of the two settings, to bring out the emotion of the song, really well.&nbsp;Joesef told Attitude Magazine that the video was very important to him. "If I'd seen a wee guy from the east of Glasgow necking a lad in a music video back in the day I'd have felt a bit less alone."

A young lad tries to win his ex-girlfriend back in Elliot Simpson's&nbsp;Groundhog Day-inspired promo for Shane Codd.&nbsp;The video for Always On My Mind follows the protagonist - played by&nbsp;Ben Harvey - as he keeps reliving the same Friday again and again, making the same mistakes until he decides to use the strange circumstances as a way of getting ahead of the game.&nbsp;Director Elliot Simpson&nbsp;thrives on surreal parallel timeline stories - as evidenced in the chart-topping video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2020/07/28/joel-corry-ft-mnek-head-heart-elliot-simpson/65825">Joel Corry x MNEK's Head &amp; Heart</a> last year - and he brings the same sense of magic and wonder to this video&nbsp;concept.&nbsp;

A classic band road trip descends into a night of kidnapping and burglary, in The Rest's adrenaline-fuelled promo for Beabadoobee.&nbsp;Maintaining the same late 90's/early 00's aesthetic as her&nbsp;videography to date, the video for Cologne&nbsp;has a dark, dreamlike aesthetic, and is cast&nbsp;with a group of the artist's real-life friends.DoP&nbsp;Sam Meyer complements the gritty action film aesthetic with high contrast lighting and plenty of shadows, and a colour palette that leans towards cool blues and grimy greens, staying true to the genre.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Silent Tapes explore the complexities of teenage parenthood - the chaos, the craziness, the anger, and also the love - in their engrossing video for Everyone You Know.Much as the song&nbsp;reveals its intent as it goes along, things are not quite as they may seem at the beginning of the video for She Don't Dance. But at its core are some terrific performances, particularly by the girl playing the young mother, who juggles from clinging on to her precious youth with the responsibilities of her toddler daughter - a bright as a button presence in the video herself.&nbsp;Their mates may be hard-smoking ruffians (and why always so much smoking?) but this&nbsp;family unit is by no means as dysfunctional as you might think.
