SMUGGLER director Tony Yacenda brings his craft and fresh voice to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's latest single, Talk.

Through a nostalgic lens, Yacenda offers a glimpse behind the scenes as Blanco plans a surprise prom for Gomez. The video follows the pair from a mall photo shoot to their limo ride, all the way to their fully-decked out prom, capturing each moment with warmth, humour and cinematic charm.

“I love when you can bring a documentary approach to a music video. With Benny and Selena, you don’t need much, they’re naturally funny, warm, and incredibly watchable. So we just showed up, cameras rolling, and walked into a "Photo Makers" with two of the most famous people on Earth. 

And that’s where you find someone like Eduardo, the mall photographer who’s been doing prom shoots for over a decade. Watching him direct Benny and Selena was magic. It’s the kind of moment you can’t script, textured, strange, and totally sincere.” adds Yacenda.
