Foreign Beggars - Apex (Official Video)


Taken from Foreign Beggars' album 'The Uprising' - which is out now on mau5trap - the video for Apex is about a cyborg's attempt to break free from his captors, all clones of himself. You can read a bit more about it over on MTVIGGY. I got the chance to work with loads of great people on this including producer Rik Green, actor Ed Skrein (who you might recognise from Plan B's Ill Manors) and last but not least Foreign Beggars who've been incredibly supportive of my work and a total joy to collaborate with. I hope you like it, Ben

ROYALTY - EROICA FT KISSEY


After an unprecedented absence I'm back on the blog and ripe for self promotion...

First up is a music video I directed for East London electro duo Royalty. It made it's debut in The Guardian and can currently be seen on MTV IGGY. You should probably treat yourself to the Eroica EP which is released 16th July. It contains music you'll really like including this

Big thanks to all the good people who worked on the Eroica video. You are magic.

Aside from the absurd amount of writing I've been doing (more on that later) I've managed to squeeze in a few music video shoots, the results of which should hopefully start popping up over the next month or so. 

I'll keep you posted, Ben
