Jordan Rossi takes Craig David into a colourful surrealist adventure for his video for&nbsp;My Heart's Been Waiting For You.Craig performs this garage-influenced club hit in a serious of increasingly surreal settings, with outer space encroaching into modern-day London. And periodically everything then suddenly ramps up into another dazzling visual dimension.[imgtoken data:1]"The brief was wide open," explains Rossi.&nbsp;"All that was stated was they wanted a green screen video that had the vibe of Craig's tour footage. I took that and ran with it, and wanted to craft a luminous surrealist fantasy that was equal parts Dali with Craig's R&amp;B-pop aesthetic."Craig was the best collaborator a director could ask for. Hugely respectful of the art but always wanted to push the boundaries creatively. It meant that what was a green screen video became a smash of reality and illusion in the most entrancing of ways. The final result is a fantasia of colour and other worldly scenarios. All seemingly familiar but with a twist."

Robert Fox directs up-and-coming disco icon Josh Caffé in a beautifully-realised visual for Do You Want To Take Me Home.Shot in and around iconic East London venue The Glory, Fox creates a thrilling atmosphere from a combination of close-up performance and him running through empty streets at night - wonderfully captured in DoP&nbsp;Peter Garajszki's cinematography.This builds tension around the brooding disco-house banger - which Fox occasionally diffuses with welcome touches of humour.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"Josh Caffe has been a staple of London nightlife scene for years as a DJ, and gis soon-to-be-released album marks his debut as a solo artist and performer," explains Fox.&nbsp;"As the second single release from the album and the leading music video this song and visual spearheads his introduction."I've known Josh for years from the nightlife scene and we melded on this project to something out of pure love with team of family who are all very enthused to see Josh fly. We shot the video at The Glory, a prominent nightlife spot that the both of us frequent, thus creating a very familiar feeling for us both, both directing and for Josh to perform."[imgtoken data:2]

Josh Caffé 'Do You Want To Take Me Home' by Robert Fox

Josh Caffé - Do You Want To Take Me Home? (Official Music Video)

Jordan Rossi directs a cathartic promo for Sir Tom Jones, featuring actor/dancer Iain Mackay.&nbsp;The track is a&nbsp;reversioning of the&nbsp;Bob Dylan song, and touches&nbsp;upon&nbsp;frank realisations about growing old, whilst still evoking a sense of positivity.The video focusses upon Mackay as a solitary drinker in a dive bar, chugging back the beers whilst&nbsp;lost in painful&nbsp;thought. As Sir Tom and the Dylan-penned track get going, his spirits start to improve. Soon he is off the barstool,&nbsp;dancing&nbsp;around the venue, leaving no part of the room untouched.&nbsp;And then, after reclaiming his sense of self, he leaves - driving off in a vintage Pontiac.[imgtoken data:1]"The concept for Not Dark Yet represented something very unique to me - even in the harrowing nature of this awareness of being near the end of your life there is a kernel of positivity that I wanted to hone in on," says Rossi."I remember writing in the treatment that you're never too old to have some fun and that's exactly what this is. No matter where life has taken you to you can always find a bit of fun somewhere. Particularly in the music."I really wanted to ensure that the video had some emotionality to it. I tried to imbue the video with every inch of detail that I could, some aspect that everyone would recognise in themselves. Whether that's the down-and-out start or the carefree climax or simply a love of music that is splashed across the entire piece.[imgtoken data:2]"I couldn't have completed the video without our protagonist Iain Mackay, ex-principal dancer from the Birmingham Royal Ballet, who came in at the last minute - literally the night before the shoot - and absolutely understood what we were trying to achieve."But also [DoP] Luke Scully who helped develop the visual style with me, Elle [Lotherington, 1st AD] who kept us on track throughout a tricky day and Natricia [Bernard, choreographer] whose energy and ingenuity never cease to amaze me."Scully's cinematography, including the use of&nbsp;different overlays and digital grain creates a slightly gritty and timeless feel.&nbsp;"The visual style takes inspiration from 1970s B-Movies and the Grindhouse genre, popularised in recent years by the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez," says Rossi.&nbsp;"But I chose to swap the action-packed gore for an upbeat two-step."

Jordan Rossi returns with a candy-coated performance promo for Sophie Ellis-Bextor and The Feeling.Incorporating footage from blockbuster feature&nbsp;Everyone's Talking About Jamie - the movie version of the musical co-written by The Feeling's Dan Gillespie Sells -&nbsp;Rossi soaks the video in&nbsp;his signature colourful aesthetic, building the concept around vibrant performance vignettes.&nbsp;Since the video went live, Jordan has hosted a number of talks on diversity and LGBTQ+ representation, calling for greater inclusion and action from the industry as LGBTQ&nbsp;hate crimes continue to rise within the UK."I was so thrilled when the brief came over as I was such a fan of the musical," says Rossi.&nbsp;"And then getting to collaborate with artists such as Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who I've always greatly admired, and The Feeling, who are continual hitmakers, was an absolute dream."It was a fantastic shoot day with great energy on set. Luke [Scully, the DoP] really nailed the look and feel harkening back to those old smoky club nights. Also congratulations have to go to Sophie whose recent 24 Hour Danceathon raised over one million pounds for Children In Need. She's amazing."

Elderbrook's cinematic track Broken Mirror&nbsp;becomes the vehicle for an authentic story, showcasing the issues facing many Queer people in 2021, helmed by director/photographer&nbsp;Jordan Rossi in collaboration with&nbsp; multi-disciplinary artist and creator Darkwah.Rossi's film follows a day in the life of a Queer performer played by Darkwah, and the reality of their experience, including the aggressions and microaggressions that impact personal safety and mental health.&nbsp;Together with a gut-wrenching sequence where Darkwah is cornered by a homophobic mob, there is also a focus upon the&nbsp;little stuff - small acts where their personal space is invaded, whether its being stared at and photographed in a cornershop, having their hair touched, or being touched inappropriately - that really resonates.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]Darwah delivers a charismatic performance which allows moments of happiness, as well as ranges of pain and anguish, and ultimately shows a strength of character, in a spoken-word sequence towards the end, which displays their inner resolve and dignity. Rossi brings this all together superbly well, in a video which features terrific cinematography from DoP Charlie Knight.On the project Darkwah has said:&nbsp;“As soon as I saw the treatment, I knew I wanted to be a part of this project," says Darkwah.&nbsp;"It’s all of the things I’ve experienced many times over. It’s so important that aggressions and micro-aggressions are spoken about outside of the LGBTQIA+ community. We know these things. We experience them - sometimes at the hands of those in our community but more so by those outside of it."Having these occurrences shown at this level in conjunction with an artist like Elderbrook, I hope will not only generate more conversation but result in change for the better as people check the ways in which they interact with performers, Queer performers and Queer people. I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of this project. I’m super excited for the change it will start to incite.”[imgtoken data:2]Jordan Rossi adds: “With Queer culture moving into the mainstream you’d think this would be a great time for Queer liberation but actually it’s far from it. More than ever before, we’re put into a box and forced to try and make our Queerness palatable for so many audiences. As a LGBTQ+ working director and photographer, I’m still excluded from so many conversations and projects which is why it’s a privilege to have the opportunity to craft this narrative and film."A big expression of gratitude goes to Elderbrook, his team and the record label who have let us tell this story freely and authentically, whilst supporting us at every step of the process.”The support from Elderbrook and Parlophone marks the start of a number of LGBTQIA+ activations that support the community. These include an Instagram Live session on Elderbrook's Instagram platform, featuring Jordan Rossi and Darkwah talking about the video, on Monday October 25th at 6pm (BST).

Elderbrook 'Broken Mirror' by Jordan Rossi

Continuing their longstanding collaboration with Noel Gallagher, Dan Cadan and Jonathan 'Scully' Mowatt continue where they&nbsp;left off in the previous promo&nbsp;<a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2021/05/17/noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds-were-our-way-now-dan-cadan-jonathan-scully/70884">We're On Our Way Now&nbsp;</a>, exploring the lives&nbsp;of lovers in a nouvelle vague-flavoured London, played by Matt Smith and Gala Gordon.Flying On The Ground builds upon the enigmatic narrative of the previous video, with plenty of improvised scenes and visual nods to French-wave films A Bout De Souffle&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bande A Part.&nbsp;Whether or not viewers are familiar with the French new wave&nbsp;is less important&nbsp;than the compelling performances and suggestion of a plot combine to create something absorbing to watch. And certainly&nbsp;Noel Gallagher's cameo role in the film&nbsp;becoming more significant - particularly in the fate of the Matt Smith character.[imgtoken data:1] &nbsp;

Loona Riia guides us through a looping series of portrait setups, in her mesmerising promo for Sipho's Bodies.&nbsp;Centered on vivid colour schemes and Esme Hill's punchy edit, the video sees Sipho surrounded by a rotating group of doppelgangers and background artists, in dazzling monochromatic sets.&nbsp;Packed full of texture and energy, the video is a promising introduction to the Birmingham-based artist and his fluid, genre-defying sound."Sipho had a bright colourful moodboard that created such a contrast with the lyrics of the track," explains Riia.&nbsp;"We were making Sipho's very first video ever, so it was fun to work together on creating the perfect mood, tone and imagery we we were after."I had played around with some chroma paint a couple months before and managed to convince Sipho to pour some over him."[imgtoken data:1][imgtoken data:2]

Dan Cadan and Jonathan 'Scully' Mowatt's latest video for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds&nbsp;brings the French nouvelle vague&nbsp;to modern London, and as with previous work for Noel, features a big name cast: Matt Smith and Gala Gordon play the lovers in a story inspired directly by Godard's Breathless.The video for We're On Our Way Now provides a snapshot of the lives of the couple, where an ambivalence and darkness lurks under the surface of a true romance. The directors also leave enough to the viewer's imagination to try to piece together a bigger story.As with the Jean-Paul Belmondo character in Breathless, Matt Smith is mixed up with some shady goings-on - either working for, or possibly against Noel Gallagher, who features in a cameo as a gangland figure. Smith bring depth to the part and is ideally cast. Both he and Gordon - her second video for Gallagher - are both captured wonderfully in a timeless-looking London by Danish DoP&nbsp;Niels Reedtz Johansen.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Jordan Rossi directs a vibrant performance video for Griff &amp; electronic duo Honne, as part of a project on emerging talent by Vero and Hunger Magazine.&nbsp;Inspired by the amalgamation of art and technology in the digital era, the promo is an energetic ride through glitchy textures and otherworldly projections.&nbsp;While Griff's performance is understated yet endearing, and&nbsp;Honne's cameos are cleverly intertwined into the art direction, via lilting loops on TV screens.&nbsp;"This video was a love letter to the digital era taking us down the rabbit hole of cyber space," says Rossi. "It was always meant to be a slightly surreal acid trip but in a very confined computer context. I described it initially as Dali meets The Matrix with a glitchy style."The video was created as part of a special collaboration between Vero and Hunger Magazine as a focus on emerging British music talent. It was great to have Griff part of this with her strong visual style and laser-focused vision."
