Creative Friends - Emil Nava Vid Director

Now where do I start with Emil well he is my age 25, a shit hot new video director and a  passionate creative guy who loves cats his friends/going out/women and he is just a big time fun character who touches every one with his charm and character.
I met Emil about 4 years ago now when I first moved to London, I was working for Upper11 records and he was Assisting Directing on a video for one of our artists called Natalia, he was working along side the Phil Griffin (big vid director in the game). Remember Emil on the shoot, he was very enthusiastic, energetic and good at his job. I then met him again at a Beyonce party where he arrived with his brother also a video director Jake Nava. We kept in contact ever since and he has a become a good friend. I have seen Emil grow from just being a runner to assistant director to now being one of the UK’s biggest new young video directors. He has directed most of Tinchy Striders videos, Ndubz, and is really at the fore front of the UK urban/pop scene. He most recently won a Soho film festival award for best new music video director for his video for Kid British and a big look was recently scoring the new video for super star artist JessieJ ‘Do it like a dude’. He has done so much in the last year and next year is going to be even bigger for him i just know it.  I am rather proud of him and his work ethic is on point. 



Please check out my fav vid of his Kid British ‘Our House’ who are on Mercury records and next JessieJ video. I really like this video, as love the narrative and it’s almost like a scene out of a movie. I think the cast/location is on point, fan of the group and love the song. Like the shoots, lighting and the capturing of these characters that if you look closely could be similar to people we may know or can relate to.
