Emily Makis, Pola & Bryson 'Pretender' by Ted Clarke

Rob Ulitski - 22nd Apr 2026

Ted Clarke is back in the game with a stirring laundrette-set promo for rising artist Emily Makis and Pola & Bryson.

In the video for Pretender, the artists turn a laundrette into a high energy performance space, in order to get some things off their chests.

It's a riotous blend of performance, frenetic camerawork and strobe lights, building to a breathless climax. And Emily is a charismatic presence in this from start to finish.
