It was honestly such a thrilling process working with the hottest and most formidable band on the scene. We had so much magic happening on set from the visionary that is Tasha Duursma, to the real-life angels at KODE, and the ACTUAL magician we hired for our stunts. It was a pleasure to direct as a duo and put our spin on a rock video.

New KODE signings Dora Paphides and Harv Frost join forces to direct an impressive pair of music videos. Born in London, Dora spent most of her childhood listening to music on her red iPod nano imagining what the music videos to her favourite Coldplay songs would look like. When she later discovered MTV this blew her tiny mind. Dora started understanding what directing was from 2013 when she had a crush on a movie buff who sat next to her in English. On two sheets of A4 paper, she wrote down every film on IMDB'S top 100 films list and set about watching them, giving each of them marks out of 5. She got two things out of this process: a love of film, and a growing resentment she didn’t know about 'Letterboxd' earlier. Her crush fizzled out into a faint memory but her interest in all things visual, remains strong… Graduating from the BRIT School in 2019, and working as a director/photographer ever since, Dora has now realised directing is a real job you can have.  Harv on the other hand, was born and raised in Aylesbury. 2021’s winner of ‘worst place to live in the UK’ and most land-locked place in the country - Harv fled to the coastal town of Brighton as soon as possible. As a Trans filmmaker and creative, Harv has created an eclectic reel filled with work that redefines who she is as director each time. She got her start at the very bottom, shooting music videos on £20 for the local talent Aylesbury had to offer, and working as the go-to VHS Videographer-girl for touring bands and music publications. Through that, she became a runner on music videos and got a lot of practice making coffees. She eventually graduated to a much cooler sounding title that had initials, she became a PA for a producer on some high-budget shiny proper music videos. It is here where she got to observe the pros, the super star directors she had idolised, and she caught the bug, and that hunger began to take hold. Harv’s concepts are often Inspired by the nerd-culture she grew up consuming, and drawing inspiration from sci-fi, video games, cult-classic movies, comics and graphic novels. She has done narrative based dramas, sugar sweet pop videos, queer protest pieces, roller skating fashion ads, energetic performance videos, editorial fashion films, lo-fi vhs subculture pieces, epic conceptual concept pieces and even a stop motion animation. Going forward, Harv strives to create a body of work that she is excited by. Fabricating new worlds, redefining genres and pushing boundaries. Queer, vibrant and always wonderfully wacky. Also, she is great at writing extremely modest and totally down-to-earth bios about herself.
