Stink Films have&nbsp;signed multidisciplinary artist&nbsp;Anna Van Der Velde to their roster for global representation.Van Der Velde's&nbsp;work blends film, digital art, technology and movement, with a practice that challenges traditional creative boundaries. Her visual language is defined by a technical approach, static yet charged compositions, and choreography. In one of her latest projects for Nike x The Face, she crafted an experimental short film featuring emerging Berlin&nbsp;DJ Cora. Merging CGI and live-action performance, the film visualises Cora’s techno track The Heart Sutra&nbsp;through mirrored bodies, and suspended, surreal elements. Drawing on Cora’s East Asian influences and Anna’s own interest in transcendence and psychology states, they blurred reality to create a stark, hypnotic study of rhythm and identity.Further brands such as Adidas, Numéro, and Iris Van Herpen have partnered with Van Der Velde to explore philosophical themes through arresting, future-forward imagery. Her work challenges viewers to look closer, to understand movement as meaning, and technology as a conduit for emotion.“Anna’s such a unique proposition on our roster,"&nbsp;ays Dom McKiernan, Global Head of Music &amp; Special Projects.&nbsp; "We’ve very eager to explore opportunities that go beyond traditional forms of advertising. Anna’s background in art, tech and experiential brings a whole new perspective to the fore.”Anna Van der Velde adds: “I am beyond excited about my new partnership with Stink! From the very beginning, I felt that they truly see me as a multidisciplinary artist and understand how to translate that into powerful, immersive work. Stink dares to shift perspectives and challenge the creative industry with their layered, forward-thinking vision. I’m proud to join their creative family, and I can’t wait to build new worlds together.”• Watch Anna Van Der Velde's showreel at Stink <a href="https://stinkfilms.com/directors/anna-van-der-velde" target="_blank">here</a>

Singer-songwriter, producer and director Wesley Joseph returns with a comeback single and accompanying visual that adds a sleek intensity to the craft and surreal invention that has marked his work to date.Shadowy, concrete club spaces and mirrored&nbsp;rooms twist and warp as Wesley encounters a striking female amid a group of pole dancers in the video for If Time Could Talk. And it builds to an impressive, fiery&nbsp;climax.Filmed in Paris, and produced by Stink France (with help from film fund CNC), Joseph's video for If Time Could Talk is riveting in terms of the imagery he creates and the feeling it evokes - which is something he certainly intended to achieve, from hearing how&nbsp;he describes the track."It started as a much faster dance instrumental but one night, weeks after the session, I slowed it down and found all this space in the music where the feeling and texture became clear - electric, nostalgic, twisted, and aching all at once,” he explains."Ultimately the song is about the pull of a lost connection, desire, regret and romanticising the past - some of the songs I write have a really specific story and others are a feeling dramatised into a scene and If Time Could Talk&nbsp;feels more like that - emotional honesty, immediacy and melancholy all wrapped into an elated escape.”[imgtoken data:1] &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]<div>&nbsp;</div>

Ramen Silyan extends the Lynchian world around Californian band The Neighbourhood, with the story of a man who appears to have a lot of catching up to do.In the video for Hula Girl, the man, played by Craig Stark, opens the garage on his treasured car that's covered in a film of dust. Then he heads to the bar, where the band are playing, to line up a series of tequila shots.Silyan leaves the viewer to figure out the character's backstory that leads to a series of unfortunate actions, mixing unease at the unfolding narrative with a dreamlike quality. It's excellent storytelling, adding another level&nbsp;to the&nbsp;aesthetic and world-building that was established in Private, his other video for the band.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

There's glamour and grit in Claryn Chong’s visually stunning&nbsp;new music video for rising Norwegian pop star Swank Mami.The video for&nbsp;MC69 creates a futurist&nbsp;metallic playground for Swank Mami and her pals, a group of dancers rollerblading, lounging, or moving in hypnotic slow motion around a pole.&nbsp;The playfulness of bubble gum and plush toys contrasts with the presence of live scorpions, depicting the duality of allure and danger that runs through the track, a&nbsp;blend of sultry R&amp;B lyricism and pulsing Euro dance rhythms.Juxtaposing sensuality and minimalistic grit in a stylishly clinical setting, this represents the next step&nbsp;in Claryn Chong's visual evolution,&nbsp;building upon the distinct aesthetics established in her collaborations with MisoExtra, Unflirt, and Lyam. A big visual statement that's going to bring her even more admirers.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]&nbsp;

Ramez Silyan evokes the name of the band and the song, and channels the cinematic spirit of David Lynch and Gregory Crewdson in this gorgeous, beautifully crafted video for Californian band The Neighbourhood.Shot by Bobby Pavlovsky, the video for Private takes us into American suburbia in all its ominous perfection. The world of Lynch's Blue Velvet - often referenced in videos, but rarely done as well as it is here.Silyan's twist on the convention is to have the band perform the song within this dream suburban setting at night - a night so dark that it becomes like a dream.It is beautiful and beautifully artificial - and it's the band themselves that provide the realism, in the unshowy yet impressive performance. They are determinedly rocking out - and that's what gets the curtains twitching in this eerily private world.[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2][imgtoken data:3]

Stink has announced that Alexa Haywood has joined to represent the company’s music video directors in the UK.Haywood, founder of&nbsp;FreeAgent, has been representing directors for more than two decades, and won&nbsp;Best Agent at the UKMVAs for three years in succession. As a producer, she has received a Grammy nomination for the Harry Styles music video As It Was.&nbsp;Collaborations include videos for artists such as Dua Lipa, Fontaines D.C., Jungle, and Lady Gaga.This new chapter marks something of a full circle moment for Stink and Haywood, as she originally launched the production company’s in-house music video department. Stink and Haywood worked on the recently-launched&nbsp; Gossip&nbsp;music video for Confidence Man and&nbsp;JADE. Most recently, they released Colin Solal Cardo’s&nbsp;Just Two Girls&nbsp;for Mercury Prize-nominated rock band&nbsp;Wolf Alice (above).Dom McKiernan, Global Head of Music + Special Projects at Stink, says: “Alexa’s story with Stink goes back 20 years, when she was pioneering the role of music video reps in the UK. Ambitious, collaborative, and a true ally for our directors, I’m excited for what we’ll make together. I’d say welcome but really, it’s welcome back!”

Stink announces collaboration with music video rep Alexa Haywood

Colin Solal Cardo directs a spectacular performance&nbsp;promo for Wolf Alice in another&nbsp;showcase for lead singer Ellie Rowsell, choreographed by Ryan Heffington - and co-starring actor Lucy Boynton.&nbsp;The video for Just Two Girls is a celebration of female friendship, highlighting the power of connection, which has Rowsell and Boynton creating a stir on&nbsp;a night out in a posh London restaurant, after starting with a few drinks at the bar.&nbsp;&nbsp;Following the acclaimed 70s musical-influenced video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2025/05/20/wolf-alice-bloom-baby-bloom-colin-solal-cardo/91110">Bloom Baby Bloom</a> for the first song from the new Wolf Alice album The Clearing, its a different kind of production number orchestrated by Colin Solal Cardo in collaboration with Ryan Heffington.It also offers a different kind of sophistication, again with great casting around the main performers, a fabulous location and terrific energy in the way its shot and of course, the choreography. The result is captivating, a powerful expression of unabashed freedom, told with considerable flair.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

James Ogram directs a countryside meditation on life and death, in his absorbing promo for Poor Things composer Jerskin Fendrix.The video for Together Again finds Fendrix on a walk with his dog, as he comes across a mutilated badger. Moments later, he runs over to a bloody car crash, where an elderly man has hit a signpost in the middle of the landscape. It's completely out of place, but played straight, adding a sense of mystery to the video.&nbsp;This sense of surreal liminality bleeds through the rest of the visual, as Ogram captures the frantic aftermath in lingering wide shots, sun-soaked hills contrasted by visceral tragedy. It also follows the similarly eery and surreal presentation of life in the English countryside in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StSVfmL-KTk" target="_blank">the video for Beth's Farm</a> - directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone - and both videos were&nbsp;shot by another Lanthimos collaborator, DoP Robbie Ryan.It also marks a creative reunion between Jerskin Fendrix and James Ogram, who became collaborators and friends while playing together in a band called Famous, nearly a decade ago.&nbsp;"Back then, I was a musician, interested in film," recalls Ogram.&nbsp;"I was just getting into directing alongside music and one of the first music videos I ever made&nbsp;was for Jerskin, with a mirrorless camera and a few work lights we bought from B&amp;Q. It wasn’t long before things switched around and I became a filmmaker, interested in music."It was probably about two years ago when Jerskin first showed me Together Again. Its scope, beauty and emotional force was striking. It’s also very long. There was no way that I could try to contend with the many images the song conjures in one’s mind."I felt that the song needed space and I wanted to make a film that told a story without choking the song. I wanted to tell a story in as few shots as I could. The song [also] made me sad, I wanted to make a music video that was sad too. "Robbie shot the film on 35mm celluloid. He was wonderful to work with. Obviously, he’s an amazing talent. His passion for making films, from very big ones with Yorgos, to very small ones (like this one) is inspiring."

Dan French has created an underground cyber-world for Chinese-Vietnamese-British rapper Jianbo's collaboration with Nix Northwest - created entirely in CGI.The video for For The Honour is a gamefied story that spirals through a&nbsp;surreal vignettes exploring honour and Jianbo’s conflicted experience of it, while elements of Asian identity and internal struggles are layered throughout. And with French choosing animation as a means to lock creative freedom, it amounts to an&nbsp;awesome achievement.Inspired by the cinematic language of Wong Kar Wai, the urban sprawl of Tokyo, and the neon tones of cyberpunk futurism, French blended dystopian motifs with real cultural undercurrents in Jianbo’s life to also comment on loyalty, sacrifice, and the ripple effects of success. And it's effectively handcrafted as&nbsp;the director&nbsp;handled every aspect of the CG animation himself - from modelling and rigging to texturing and compositing.[imgtoken data:1]"Jianbo and I go way back," says French. "I’d been wanting to make something with him for a while and what started as a simple idea quickly evolved into a full CGI underground world."But with limited resources, he explains that he was pushed to be&nbsp;creative and as well as picking up new skills along the way.&nbsp;Lacking access to motion capture studios or suits, he embraced a DIY approach, recording iPhone footage of Jianbo dancing, then manually translating the movements into animation. He leaned into a stylised aesthetic that nods to GTA and PS2-era graphics rather than striving for photorealism."I didn’t realise how much I’d bitten off, learning how to do motion capture, rig people and model faces," he continues. "As it started coming to life, I kept pushing because having total creative freedom was a dream. I wasn’t aiming for photorealism, I actually liked the slightly off, mocap-heavy, gamey vibe - it gave GTA nostalgia. So I wanted it to stay rough around the edges to show that it was handcrafted for real by me.”The end result is a singular vision: raw and unfiltered. A music video grounded in modern culture that blurs the line between personal story and digital spectacle, designed to live entirely within the world its creators meticulously built by hand.

Confidence Man returns with another bold swing at pop absurdity in their latest video by India Harris&nbsp;- featuring fellow pop star&nbsp;Jade. Already buzzing across TikTok and fresh from its live debut at Glastonbury, the track now arrives with a hyper-stylised absurdist narrative.The cinematic, colour-drenched video for Gossip&nbsp;is laced with tongue-in-cheek irony. Taking place in a surreal dive bar where Confidence Man and Jade encounter cloned versions of themselves, they each indulge in wild, debaucherous behaviour, as a visual analogy for the track’s theme: gossip.&nbsp;Between moments of playful choreography and striking styling, a game of Russian Roulette triggers a chain reaction of chaos, with the fired bullet ricocheting through the bar and picking the cast off one by one. The camera captures the chaos, moving between static frames, dramatic crash zooms, and rhythmic dolly shots - always pulsing in time with the beat.Part-Western, part-Mafia flick, the video immerses viewers in its own off-kilter world, ideated by director India Rose Harris. A surreal visual feast packed with irony and attitude that showcases her unique and playful approach to visual storytelling.INDIA HARRIS:“I loved the 00’s weirdo club vibe of the track so straight up I knew the video had to be some kind of bonkers narrative. The concept sparked from the idea that a disjointed bar full of cloned versions of the same person, somehow became synchronised in a moment before descending into chaos.&nbsp;"I wanted it to be this blend of Western, meets Mafia, meets East London pub/dive bar with classic Con Man irony interwoven. Bring Jade’s perfect character building into the madness of Confidence Man’s world and voila!”[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Confidence Man & JADE 'Gossip' by India Harris

Confidence Man & JADE - gossip (official video)

Jim Longden's rather delightful video for avant-pop artist Magdalena Spinka has a stab at grasping both the randomness and internal logic of dreams in scenarios that may be connected... but probably aren't.Longden's video for Spinka's Slow Dream follows the recent release of Spinka’s album Bonnie Bonny ALBUMBUM, an ambitious and experimental project, unbound by any one fixed genre. And similarly, the film is unbound by normal storytelling rules, while adding that seam of subversive humour also to be found in his recent work with Oracle Sisters, plus an animated sequence.“I wanted to depict the concept of dreams with a sense of truthful delirium, rather than the way they are often portrayed," says Longden. "Some of the ideas stemmed from personal dreams; other scenes were based on imagined characters I might see on the street."What always intrigues me is the connotations these dreams have in relation to a person’s waking, conscious state. I’m also fascinated by the lack of control we have over our own subconscious—the windmills of your mind, as they say."The video was a tricky quest to execute due to my ideas versus the budget we had. It became a micro-budget masterclass. But through the perseverance and determination of the cast and crew - who resembled a Dirk Diggler formation chemically fused with a Pacino character in a Lumet film (Eh? - ed) - we managed to make it all happen.”&nbsp;It looks great too - mostly shot on film by DoP Sam E.H. Hooper, with animation by Lucy Wei. Together with Longden's acclaimed short films (To Erase A Cloud, Puddle Of Muddles), it builds on a growing body of impressive work.[imgtoken data:1]

For the returning Maribou State, Brazilian filmmaker&nbsp;Giordano Maestrelli tells a story of lost love by employing some of the oldest techniques in cinema within a bold new structure.&nbsp;The subject of the film for All I Need is the complexity of a broken relationship, told through parallel timelines. At the centre of the story is a couple - their past life unfolds through fragments and the present plays out in the background where their lost love echoes. And&nbsp;to allow the flashback story of the couple's love affair to coexist within the present, Maestrelli&nbsp;built a custom zoetrope device inspired by early motion picture pioneer&nbsp;Eadweard Muybridge.In this meticulous undertaking the director first shot the story on 16mm film, then printed into more than 2500 still frames, and re-sequenced it through the custom circular machine in a stop-motion-like technique. Shooting over 23 hours, thousands of delicate frames were replaced one by one while a crew member manually turned the machine at a millimetric degree, and another captured the action.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;The zoetrope enables one narrative to take place inside a contained, looping environment, which set out to resemble the way unprocessed emotions often linger. Meanwhile, behind it, the same setting appears as a ghostly representation of what is no more.&nbsp;With a visual language rooted in early cinema but a vision firmly fixed on today’s music video aesthetics,&nbsp;All I Need&nbsp;is a technically-daring love letter for the song that&nbsp;features on Maribou State’s latest album&nbsp;Hallucinating Love, their first since a multiple-year long hiatus following bandmember Chris Davids’ rare and debilitating brain illness.&nbsp;The result is a mesmerising and haunting&nbsp;blend of cinematic craftsmanship, memories and emotion.

Maribou State 'All I Need' by Giordano Maestrelli

Maribou State, @AndreyaTriana - 'All I Need' (Short Film)

Wolf Alice return with their first new music in three years and a video to defy expectations from Colin Solal Cardo - a musical theatre showstopper, inspired by Bob Fosse, choreographed by Ryan Heffington.In the video for Bloom Baby Bloom, Solal Cardo sets the band's full-on rock 'n roll performance of the lead-off track from new album The Clearing within a dance rehearsal studio packed with dancers. From the maelstrom of bodies and activity, lead singer Ellie Rowsell emerges as both rock band frontwoman and integrated member of the 20 strong company of dancers.[imgtoken data:1]The result is sensational - a relatively straightforward set-up that's orchestrated to perfection by Solal Cardo and his choreographer-accomplice&nbsp;Heffington, through colour, movement and sheer personality. And as the band move into serious rock territory with the track, this is an adrenalin-shot of a visual&nbsp;that feels counter-intuitive - and a triumph.The influences are clear - particularly the Bob Fosse biopic (in all but name) All That Jazz and his various contributions to musicals. There's also the nods to various Fosse-influenced productions in the 70s that brought rock music together with the musical, including Fame.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]Ultimately, Colin Solal Cardo&nbsp;and Ryan Heffington have paid due homage but also made the Wolf Alice completely fresh.They have brought together&nbsp;are a&nbsp;cast of dancers who offer individual personality as well as collective brilliance&nbsp;to the piece. And above all it's the performance by the now raven-haired Ellie Rowsell&nbsp;that is a revelation. That's five stars. A very exciting&nbsp;introduction to the new album.&nbsp;
