SUEDE (VARIOUS 1994-2025)

I first met Suede in 1993, when I was in my early twenties. I was working with Derek Jarman during the final few years of his life, and the band hoped to collaborate with him on a video. The meeting didn't just lead to a legendary Suede Jarman collaborative concert at Clapham Grand, but also was the beginning of a lifelong friendship and frequent collaboration between the band and I. The first film I ever directed was for Suede and the first concert film I ever directed was for Suede.

This is a selection of the work I've made with them over the years, in varying capacities: some I directed, some I produced, and at least one which is a simple iPhone moment I caught at a concert.

Without this collaboration, I'm not sure I'd have the career I now have - and the friendship with these great artists still means the world to me.
