Description
In the debut episode of the Promonews Podcast, David Knight and Rob Ulitski talk about music videos with Lee Fairweather, director’s rep at London-based production company COMPULSORY. Lee talks about COMPULSORY’s prolific output of music videos in the past year or so, including Stormzy’s Superheroes, directed by Taz Tron Delix, the Boy Pablo trilogy by directing duo Bedroom, and director Filmawi’s move into live music videos for Burna Boy. They also discover how Lee and COMPULSORY co-founder/EP Chris Toumazou bond over obscure late 20th century pop culture, and his own 'music video education' - growing up watching 90s hip hop videos.
