Jim Longden has directed his first music video after signing with PRETTYBIRD UK.
The promo for Jaxxon D Silva’s track Crack in the Mask features the artist playing an imprisoned character talking to his alter ego.
Longden started working with Jaxxon a decade ago when he shot his album and single cover artworks, developing a creative partnership in 2022 when they collaborated on his short film Don’t Look at Me.
"We filmed the video in one location and had one day to shoot it. This was my second time directing Jaxxon on screen. Similar to the first time in Don't Look At Me, it was again a bizarre, peculiar and outlandish experience, but we managed to get it done due to the two of us being strict, quick and having rehearsed and argued our thoughts for a few days before the shoot. Having the test of creating a film or video in just one room is a test I had always wanted to face. I am pleased with the outcome, and my respect for filmmakers like Sidney Lumet, which were already very high, have grown even more." said director Jim Longden.
