Songs Of Surrender. Out Now: http://u2.lnk.to/SOS
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.

Songs Of Surrender. Out Now: http://u2.lnk.to/SOS
Enigmatic polymath Shan Phearon creates new kind of iconography and has made a name for himself with his forward-thinking filmmaking.
His cult reputation has developed: whether landing a UK Music Video Awards nomination for his first video under legendary commissioner John Moule, or advancing new age extreme wide angle cinematography with Brit DPs like Olan Collardy, Courtney Bennet, Jake Gabbay, Nathalie Pitters, right through to inventing the world’s first UV light drone for iconic brands Apple and Def Jam, and even designing blockbuster spectacles to electrify the modern UK music video field.
Shan has attracted artists from some of the great UK Rap lyricists including Potter Payper, Nines, Wretch 32, Blade Brown, Rimzee, Ocean Wisdom, futurist R&B-Soul performers like Jvck James or Tiggs Da Author, outsiders like UK Brazilian Funk trailblazer Jevon or UK Afrobeats trendsetter One Acen, and even next generation experimental Alt-Pop disruptors like Jazmin Bean.
With a footprint in the music world, he has worked with a long list of numerous culture-shifting acts including Tyler, The Creator, ASAP Rocky, Kid Cudi, Janelle Monae, Charli XCX, Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, Mount Kimbie, Miguel, Jazmin Sullivan, Ed Sheeran, Labrinth, Danny Brown, SpaceGhostPurrp, How to Dress Well, P. Diddy, et al.
Noteworthy recognition has come from 1.4 On The Cusp, UKMVA, Vimeo Staff, 5 Star David Reviews, PromoNews Best Videos of The Year, plus work featured in Booooooom, VideoItalia, Shots, Director's Notes, Maff, VideoStatic, The Fader, Complex, Trench, The Guardian, and more.
UK Drill has been one of the most influential youth music movements in the world. It’s born from teen nihilism, disenfranchisement, low income areas, violence, trauma, alienation. Like rebellious Punk and Grime before, UK Drill is a response to broken British politics. UK Drill culture has codes: mythos, uniform, language, hand gestures, environment, dance. The Drill dance style - like Hip-Hop adjacent 'conflict styles' Breakdancing or Krump battling in eras past - is known as Sturdy.
I was thinking about themes behind U2’s debut ‘Boy’ LP... Adolescence, teen angst, coming of age, etc. Let’s reframe these through a modern European inner-city youth lens. Worlds crossing. It felt visually unexpected from U2 and uncommon in Rock / Alternative. UK Drill, integrated into the thematic universe of one of the great universal bands of all time, in an organic crossover moment - we hadn’t seen this cross-pollination done yet.
I found this old anecdote: “Bono remembers his adolescence as a time of psychological violence and ‘I Will Follow’ captures some of the drama of that era, the suburban claustrophobia, as throughout ‘Boy’. There is a sense of terror and confusion which runs deeper than the common crises of identity from which teenagers suffer.” I saw natural connections here with alienation, parenting, childhood trauma, teen behavioural issues and other deeper ideas around UK Drill and modern street culture youth.
More than anything though, I think it’s cool to see modern Rap and Rock n’ Roll ideas find common ground.
My Father was a big music head and he was also a bit of a U2 super-fan. He started me off on their 'The Best of 1980–1990’ CD as a little kid. Those are the times I felt most connected with him, through the music he shared with me. U2’s material was always such a human transmitter. Cosmically coming full circle years later, I guess I did this project as a dedication to my Dad.

"Burj Al Babas is a ghost town of over 700 identical baroque-style chateaus in Mudurnu, Turkey that was supposed to be a luxury development for wealthy foreigners. However, the project went bankrupt in 2019 and remains incomplete and uninhabited to this day. Viewing pictures from afar, I was struck by how Burj al Babas looked like virtual space due to the repetition of the architecture. So I hired my favorite freestyle drone pilot (@mrsteelefpv) to shoot what looks like a flythrough animation."
"Bono has described U2’s 1991 single “The Fly” as "a crank call from Hell... but [the caller] likes it there." This contradictory experience of enjoying hell resonated with our experience at Burj Al Babas, and I think that comes through in the video."

Nate Guenther (b.1997) is an independent Director/Photographer based in Los Angeles, originally from Indiana. Nate started teaching himself photography around 18 then transitioned into directing once moving to Los angeles in 2019. Nate’s visual universe balances on the lines of realism and surrealism within unique/obscure stories.
Born in Alabama, Director & Designer Najai Washington (b.1996) moved to Chicago with family when he was 9 years old, teaching him to find beauty in unknown places and familiarity in new experiences. Eventually finding himself in California, Najai made his first strides in the creative industry. His work draws upon a mixture of influences from his southern upbringing, midwestern adolescence, and west-coast adulthood.
For “Song for Someone”, Nate & Najai enlisted long-time friend and collaborator darien. to assist in writing / conceptualizing the piece. They really wanted to hone in on the idea that you can't be your ideal self until you face and accept all parts of you and your experience, even at the roughest moments. No matter the scars, there’s always a brighter tomorrow.
Nate’s earliest memories of U2 would be his dad driving him as a young kid to different sports practices with U2 blaring in the car. There’s a special sense of wonder hearing those songs such as “With or Without You” and “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”.
