This video, shot in a mill in my native West Yorkshire is one of 9 videos i've made with the band. It's a really fruitful collaboration thats allowed us to create our or cinematic universe of recurring characters and themes. Indeed this video is the first part of a feature film i'm making of Yard Act's forthcoming 2nd album in which the protagonist takes an audio guided tour round the musical universe of the band's songs.
London based Bradford born film maker. Failing in a career as a pizza waiter I turned in desperation to a career in film making. I’ve gone on to make a career as a director of music videos, commercials and documentary, both in the UK and in Germany where I lived for several years. I’ve achieved industry recognition, winning Vimeo Staff picks, NME video of the year (Jamie T 'Zombie’) Raindance Video Of The Year (Stealing Sheep 'Not Real') numerous Brit Award and UKMVA nominations and some nice festival prizes. I recently co-founded production company Zomdic Films to primarily make feature docs, narrative and music videos.
