  Sirens (Music video) - Bill LauranceAn expressionist music video produced for multi-grammy-award-winning composer Bill Laurance. Bill's inspiration for Sirens was that during lockdown in London he could hear life all around him but felt disconnected from it, and gave us creative freedom on how we wanted to interpret that. I wanted to emulate the feeling of being dissociated, over-stimulated and isolated even while surrounded by people, much like having a panic attack in a crowded place. Shot & directed by myself, edited by Liam Lu
