Rattling Stick adds a music video dept & unearthing new talent to what it does

Rattling Stick announce has launched its first ever dedicated music video department, as well as a new roster, DirtyWork, which will find, support and nurture new talent.

The curated DirtyWork roster, a platform that accommodates emerging talent, has launched with six directors – Sam Davis, Harry Barber, Pilgrim, Amar Hernandez, Eve Mahoney and Nathan James Tettey. These were chosen for their potential to create exciting content, music videos, photography, documentary and commercials work.

The music video department and DirtyWork roster are led by new addition, Emma Wellbelove.

“Music videos are so valuable for all directors. They are an opportunity to up creativity and are a hugely accessible short form in which directors continue to push boundaries,” she commented.

“Many of the Rattling Stick directors have cut their teeth in music videos (some of the greatest!) before going on to huge success in commercials and film – they are visionary filmmakers and I couldn’t think of a better place to grow our new generation of directors than on our emerging talent roster, DirtyWork. I’m looking to carefully curate and expand DirtyWork with exceptional new talent and make exceptional work, as well as to continue to produce outstanding music videos with our prolific directors. I feel very privileged to be a part of growing the Music Department here.”

Rattling Stick first lady, Katie Keith, added, “We have long since worked with emerging talent in a more off-roster and less official capacity so it feels like a natural progression for us to bring this into Rattling Stick with dedicated resource to give such exciting creative talent the appropriate support and opportunity. Nurturing new blood is hugely important to us and launching a dedicated roster reflects both our commitment to this and the growing importance within our industry of talent breeding talent.

“To couple this with our first ever music department under the leadership of Emma is an incredibly exciting venture for us. We all know how music video has had a renaissance of late and brings real creative opportunity to our directors at every level. We intend to bring our creative ambitions to the world of music and look forward to the opportunities this opens up for us.”
