Hot Spot: Friday

Friday is a directing duo consisting of Jonathan Evans and Samuel Craven. They began making videos together late last year.

They recently got a Staff Pick for their video for Phil France’s track ‘Transition’, a stop frame video made entirely from Google Street view scenes.

Their most recent video for Luke Sital Singh ‘Nothing Stays the same’ was shot entirely on 16mm and featured countless portraits of really interesting groups, from synchronized swimmers, to Dressage riders, war veterans, young mothers, live action role players and disabled basketball players.
