"The film is an ode to black excellence. at its core is Bonang; a vision, a personification of tectonic elegance. an updated portrait of a complex contemporary african artist. the film inherits it’s sensibilities from her, and serves to quietly punctuate the boundless potential of a potent black voice." -one_fiction

An incredible crew came together to create content for the House of BNG launch. Bonang, the first black woman on the MCC board, is at the forefront of excellence. This piece of content is a reflection of her elegance and radiance as she inspires kids who never thought they never had a chance.

"Let me share this with you" - Josh Riley 2018

When approaching a creative project like a music video, a helping hand is always required and should never go unnoticed!

We are so humbled by the number of people who helped us out on the Grassy Spark music video - it's been a great reminder to see what our fellow industry friends will do when it comes to connecting with one another to create ❤

From long hours in a cold studio kindly supplied by Panavision, to early mornings and late nights suckling on coffee and ci******es, behind the scenes of music videos ain't that pretty... but thanks to our saucy subjects Grassy Spark making things look pretty was a mere splash of colour away.

We present to you our collaborative selfaweh pop music video: THE CANDY

Thailand is more than just about the food and the beauty, its about the people and the shared experience one gets, particularly at a wedding. But these are just words that mean nothing... so just watch the darn video 💁‍♀️

P.S A huge thank you to Bevan & Sachi for allowing us to let our hair down and have a banger of a time in Thailand!

Had the most incredible time filming and editing the special day of two of our favourite people. Thank you to Bevan and Sachi for inviting us on this special journey…
