Description
In this episode, David and Rob talk music videos with Salomon Ligthelm, a director who’s created beautifully-shot, emotionally-charged, gripping videos for the likes of Young Fathers, Daughter, Prince, and most recently for UK hip hop artist Little Simz. Salomon talks from his home in New York about his unconventional career path, being ‘a nomad’, developing direct relationships with music artists and making videos as a reaction to his high-end commercial work.
