Together with music videos for three songs from Cat Burns's debut album early twenties, Libby Burke Wilde has directed an accompanying short film.A cinematic rendering of Burns's coming-of-age album, the short narrative - also called early twenties - is a mirror to the transformative years of your adolescent years, touching on themes of mental health, friendship, queer love, and loneliness.Cat’s conversational lyrics are almost tangible in Libby’s script, interweaving the lives of five friends on a night out, all at different stages in life.Piecing together the narrative between the music videos for alone, end game and met someone - also directed by Libby Burke Wilde - the short film stars a wealth of emerging British acting talent: India Amarteifio (Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story), Sam Reuben (Everything Now), Aiyana Goodfellow (The Outlaws), Melina Sinadinou (Beyond Paradise), and BAFTA-nominated Samuel Bottomley (How To Have Sex, Sundown).“Your early 20s are one of the most transformative times in life, which I think is what makes it so memorable," says Burke Wilde. "It’s a time of limbo between childhood and fully-fledged adulthood. Responsibilities are creeping in, but some things are still carefree. "It’s also a time when your relationship to yourself and others is changing dramatically. Cat mentions all these things in her album. Not knowing where you want to be, not feeling comfortable in your own skin, loneliness and having low self-esteem. All universal themes that feel so heightened in your early twenties."I wanted to make a film that touches on many of these feelings. It reflects the dramatic highs and epic lows of this time in your life, but leaves you with a feeling of hope for the future."

Directing duo Broken Antenna's latest video for Hak Baker - their eighth - returns to Hak's home turf in London's East End once more. But after the critically acclaimed doc-style video for Wrong Side of the Street, for Hak's collab with Joe Armon Jones, they now swerve into gritty drama.The video for LUVLY features rising star Hero Fiennes Tiffin (The Woman King, After We Fall) and brings to life Hak’s own story, growing up on the Isle of Dogs. The song paints a portrait of a man who cannot receive the love from the woman who loves him - and poignantly, can’t love himself.That's visualised by Broken Antenna - Myles McAuliffe and Gustav Newby - in a whirlwind allegorical tale of a young man (played by Fiennes Tiffin), who on release from prison, quickly falls into his old ways - he falls foul of the local hood, played by Geoff Bell (The Business) - and the effect it has on the relationship with his devoted girlfriend. Through it's breathless narrative style, characterised by the fluid cinematography by Ahmet Husseyin, the ensemble cast and relentless pace forced by the cut by Ben Boullier, Broken Antenna build a full picture of the young man's nefarious situation. But similarly to the likes of Goodfellas - almost certainly an influence - this is not just about the gangsters' shady world. And when the real blow falls, it's not from a 'bad guy', and Hero doesn't see it coming. It's more evidence of a relationship, between Baker and Broken Antenna, that has been the one of the most creatively fruitful of the past few years.

Directing duo Nono+Rodrigo direct a haunting promo for up and coming Spanish artist Judeline. The video for Mangata is a hazy, hallucinatory trip, dripping with religious iconography and a disquieting sense of dread. From dramatic character study to plaintive silence and mysterious house party, the video spans a range of evocative scenes that build upon the pulsating track. A beautifully crafted work which brings Nono + Rodirgo triumphantly back into the music video orbit."There is something magnetic in Judeline - in her music, her lyrics, and her presence - something that strongly captivated us when, in 2021, we started talking about working together," says Nono, one half of the directing team."We shot this in Cadiz, where Judeline and I come from. {It's] a magical place full of tales and mystery. Being inspired by the local culture and folk and merging them with references of our favorite directors such as Zulawski, Erice, and Polanski and the photographers Pérez Siquier, Esperanza Manzanera, and García Rodero."
