Anton Tammi is a film director best known for his cult, dreamlike music videos. The world he creates is ripe with colour, flickering lights, streaming rain and heady landscapes. Anton’s early music videos ‘All Your Words’ for JIL and ‘Pick & Roll’ by Bruce Smear were both snapped up by Vimeo Staff Picks. He followed these with ‘Hard Rain’ by Lykke Li and the commercial ‘Closer To The Journey’ for Rimowa x Bang & Olufsen. In 2019, Anton directed the Euphoria inspired ‘Graveyard’ for Halsey, and began a fruitful, ongoing collaboration with The Weeknd. Together, they steered the creative direction of the Top 10 album ‘After Hours’. Anton shot the album artwork for ‘After Hours’ and directed a series of music videos for ‘Heartless’, ‘Blinding Lights’ and ‘In Your Eyes’, plus a short film.
