Kimberly Stuckwisch directs a poignant promo for singer-songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff, weaving an affecting narrative about a young boy trying to escape his circumstances in his rural hometown, accompanied by Rateliff's performance of Heartless. In a Groundhog Day-style loop, we see the boy take multiple walks down the same street, unable to break free. Only when he shifts his perspective does a new outcome present itself.The naturalistic cinematography and the winning performance of young actor Kevin Kelley creates an immediate connection to the character and his perspective, telling the story in an organic and inspired way. And the seamless addition of Rateliff's performance within the narrative is a cohesive way to bring everything together.And as Kimberly Stuckwisch reveals, the story was inspired by her own personal experience as a youngster."Growing up poor as dirt, in a part of the world long forgotten, I often found myself running away from my tumultuous upbringing diving head first into books, studies, writing, and theater, all in search of a different life," she explains."Through the arts, I found and continue to find my freedom. In many ways, I modeled our lead character (Kevin Kelley) after myself. I was at first angry, blaming the world for what happened when we were kids, but eventually learned that by showing kindness, I was able to free myself of the pain."I am so thankful Nathaniel trusted me with such a personal and important song for the world."

Kyryl Volovych directs an evocative promo for Ukranian artist Entely, a dance piece filmed in Kyiv this year. Blended as an interconnected whole through dance, a young couple express a spectre of deep emotions through their bodies in a contemporary choreographed piece, shot on 16mm film by DoP Borya Borysov.Set against a backdrop of breathtaking architecture, it's a true visual feat, even more so given the location and circumstances in which it was shot, and the text at the end of the video sums up the concept and the meaning behind the visual:"Prosa is a sensual poetic story representing an 'amalgamation of souls' - an expression used to describe a deep emotional, intellectual & spiritual connection between the people. Invisible unity that is reflected in interpersonal behaviour. This bond is not subject to external factors, as it is metaphysical, it can never be destroyed, not in distress, not in grief, nor amidst the war."

Jamie Thraves directs a heartwarming promo for Brighton band PolSky's Song For The Silver Surfer, which is also a showcase from the talents of actor/performer AJ James.James plays a seemingly frail old man, slowly making his way along Brighton seafront, as befits his age - until he bursts into action, engaging in high-energy parkour, sprinting and jumping around a seaside landscape.It's an unexpected, endearing concept, which becomes poignant when he spreads a loved one's ashes at the beach, encouraging him to celebrate life to the fullest, in every moment possible. The central performance is complex yet exuberant, and James perfectly embodies the dual role of an old man who has found an unexpected youth and vigour in his sunset years. “I was approached to do this video and loved the concept from the outset," says Thraves. "I knew we could make something sombre yet uplifting with the subject matter. PolSky are also a band I’ve been aware of for a while through industry friends so it was a pleasure to produce this piece of work with them”
