Tendai ‘Ughh… Parent’s Evening’ by Ethan & Tom
Promonews - 9th May 2023
Teenage love fails to run smoothly in Ethan & Tom's excellent take on a high school musical for Tendai.
A frosty moment between Tendai and his girlfriend - played by Sephora Parish - is played out in the halls of a London school, in a series of well-crafted sequences that involve a sizeable supporting cast.
It's of a piece with the directing duo's facility with experimental camera techniques, with a constantly moving camera, which ends up rotating around the couple.
But this is also arguably Ethan & Tom's most sophisticated video so far in terms of execution, with an element of dramatic tension and a proper pop video feel in terms of scale and look. A real step-up for the talented directing duo.
