Taught You How To Feel Directed a second music video for Sophie Lowe and her new single.

Iguana Bird Her most recent piece of work is a music video she directed for Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson’s new single that premiered on PAPER magazine in October 2018. Yorn told PAPER magazine “I have been a fan of Bonnie’s work and she came to us with a visual concept that really captured the emotion behind the song in an original way,”

 “My love of storytelling and character took hold of me as a young actor, listening to the words and ideas of renowned directors. I was fascinated with just how I could use my voice, my reactions and expressions to bring their vision to life. Intrigued too by the artistry of everything that is created before an actor steps on set. I constantly asked the crew “What does that button do?” or “Why did you paint the sky green?”; I’m now so thankful I did – it was the beginning of my education and my passion.

Now as a director, I want to make films which make the most fleeting moments and intimately felt emotions universal rather than lonely; the points in life where you think “maybe I’m the only one thinking this?”I want to the reveal emotions and beliefs which lie obscured by the barriers we put up, from fear of being judged or abandoned. Exploring themes which resonate with me; landscape, love and loss, redemption and the process of realisation, perfect or partial.”
