Billed as a ‘magic realist music video’, this new visual accompaniment to London based composer and producer Rafferties latest release lies somewhere between short documentary and surrealist music video. Staring South Central locals the Mays brothers as the central protagonists, this work gives us a form of ‘day in the life’ excerpt from the siblings lives and also stars their friends and family throughout the video.

Essentially filming what the three young men wanted to do on the day of the shoot, Director Vincent Haycock was able to achieve a very organic and natural feel throughout the film.

‘Build Me Up’ was released on May 20th and is now available for download.

In this mini doc by film maker Alex Henry, we are granted access into the life and work of photographer Alana Paterson. Born and raised in England, Henry’s current work stands in stark contrast to the Jackass esq films he produced with his friends as a 13 year old. Now producing well considered and poignant pieces, Henry lives in the US and works for Philadelphia based ‘Run For Cover Records’ as the head of video and photography.

Describing herself as somewhat of a visual nomad traveling from place to place seeking her next source of inspiration or visual adventure, Paterson has an eye and love for nature that is evident in her portfolio. Giving the artist the opportunity to expand upon her art, life and creative practice, this film is a great watch for any creative and lends itself to our inquisitive nature.
