Description
In this episode we talk with director Sophia Ray and producer Mayling Wong, who work together to create music videos for some of the UK’s favourite pop stars, like Little Mix, Mabel, Ella Eyre and Raye. Sophia and Mayling tell us what draws them to the world of Pop, the key to their strong partnership, and how they ride out the ‘stress express’ when the best laid plans go awry - including on their latest video for Sigrid.
