Maddy Rotman is a photographer. Nico Geyer is a musician and leadman of a band called Nitefire. Nitefire loves U2.

Maddy and Nico on the piece:
This piece was inspired by the confusion, listlessness, and unassuredness one feels when becoming a young man - a central theme in U2's body of work. The feeling of frenzy the piece evokes was just as much a part of its creation process. With just one rainy LA afternoon to shoot, Nico and I became hellbent on taking as many photos as possible in as many locations as possible; pitching, with great success, to all of our friends, “Wanna be in a U2 video?” We snapped quickly outside strangers' houses in the Valley before we could get caught, embraced enamored onlookers in Santa Monica looking for their big break, crashed a child's birthday party at our favorite park, and saw corners of our city we may have never seen otherwise. To turn “good“ to “great”, I did it all with my best friend.

Nico on U2:
Growing up, U2 was always the music my friends’ parents listened to. U2’s Vertigo was also the first song I listened to in 2007. As I grew older, more and more of U2’s discography began to unfold before me, and more of their songs, all the way from Boy through Zooropa to All That You Can’t Leave Behind, became staples in my musical appetite. Today, I’m constantly referencing their work both musically and visually. Their tact for songwriting, their ability to meld genres, their beautifully simplistic lyricism, and their confidence are what makes them one of my favorite bands. As a friend put it once, you don’t get U2 until life gets 2 U.

Ben Elias is a director and cinematographer from Aotearoa New Zealand, now living in New York.

“My grandmother Brenda was an extra in a Lord of the Rings movie many years ago, and every time I go back to see her she asks me for her next role. It’s not often my films call for an elderly woman with a kiwi accent, so I’ve had to let her down several times. Fortunately U2 reached out while I was home visiting in January, and gave me carte blanche for a video: Brenda and her husband Peter, my Grandfather, took the next flight up from Wellington to Auckland. We spent a lovely day together walking around the countryside, filming from overhead, revisiting places I hadn’t seen since I was a kid. I feel honoured to have made this little film. Brenda feels ready for stardom.”
