[COMMISSIONER], part of Sony Music, is looking to connect with new music video directors unfamiliar to them.
[ARTIST] is a new young female pop/rock artist, and we're looking for someone hungry and creative that wants to work closely with the artist.
Ideally, we would like to capture 3 videos, potentially press photos, and additional content during the shoots.
The EP is called [TITLE] and comments on [ARTIST] mental health and inner demons.
The running theme throughout this next release is based around a concept - all centring back to talking points of sexuality, mental health & teenage angst.
The overall visual of the EP needs to be cohesive. A storyline that isn't too obvious but not too far-fetched from each other.
Some of the ideas might be too far fetched to do within our budget, but we would love to hear and see the directors take on it all.
We'd like to capture as many videos in one day as possible.
