Back in May we had the pleasure of working with (whatup)AG Rojas (& producer Shirley O'Connor) on a hush hush project. Now the secret is out and O2 / Nike+ have launched Priority Sports. Featuring an omnipresent blue circle and an authentic blend of cool kids and olympic athletes, AG has created something both intimate and epic. More crucialy, AG passed the Peanut test and the two became fast friends.
As you can imagine, we hear a lot of music at Trim, but this years sweetest sounds drifted out of Tom's suite when SoMe was in town to cut Major Lazer's 'Get Free' video. Captured with SoMe's trademark "Effortless Vibes" lens, the video is a surprisingly melancholic take on Jamaican dancehall. See if you can spot Beenie Man rocking his new Sheikh look. Right who's up for some daggering?

Beautifully shot by by André Chemetoff and energetically soundtracked by Fanfare Ciocarlia, the film tells the story of a town that paints itself black in celebration of Arthur's Day. Here we proudly present the directors cut.
