Come on down to Underworld. Down to the mysterious, hidden depths beneath the U2 360 production. Down into the engine room of the space station. Down beneath the show where only the hardiest crew member dare venture.

Sarah Ritter is a Director/Editor from Villa Hills, Kentucky. Sarah studied marketing at Belmont University but has been anything from a costume designer to a DP on set. This past year Sarah has refined her focus to directing both music videos and narrative films. Sarah’s debut short film Hyde has been selected for over 10 film festivals and won the Luna Collective Film Festival’s award for best short film as well as Independent Shorts awards for best first-time director and best debut short film. With two narrative projects in pre-production including her debut feature-length film, we can expect to see even more of Sarah’s directing work in the near future!
"When I listened to the song, it instantly felt familiar, the lyrics it felt like a letter to home and the writer was deeply homesick or missing someone. I imagined a distant love back home in Ireland who represented something simpler, more free and pure than the bright lights of fame and success. I thought about how hard it must’ve been to be an artist in a small mining town in Ireland, and the caged birds in the video for “Red Mining Hill” symbolize being held back from your dreams by a community who doesn’t celebrate let alone understand who you are. This song is perhaps the opposite side of that coin, where getting what you thought you wanted isn’t as great as it seems and maybe life before wasn’t so bad after all. The birds are meant to represent the longing to fly away and the freedom of being with your true love."
"My dad is a big U2 fan! He freaked out when I told him I waited on Bono four years ago when I first moved to LA, I can’t wait to show him this video!!!"

"I'm a director who is fascinated with the multitudes of filmmaking and most importantly collaborating with other creatives. The alchemy that's created in those moments are to me the most original where nothing is preconceived, it is something bigger than all of us. My background has been predominantly in fashion so colour, shapes, how we express ourselves in what we show the outer world has always been a silent story much like this piece. The inspiration behind this piece is about what induces our memory. I always feel like commuting/travelling is when my memory runs wild because you're in this space of going from one place to the next- a portal, much like our memory. A lot of my friends live all over the place so it was easy to find a story that fit the song ""Stuck in a Moment."" For myself being stuck in a moment is a loop we tend to play off reminiscing, we can't seem to let go of that story to let another one in.
U2 has always been a household band since growing up. My father loves Ireland and had Gaelic crosses and paraphernalia all over our house which included u2 records. Funny fact- Bono and I are born on the same day and I share the same name as his wife Ali, so I feel we must be connected lol.
This piece was so much fun to make with my friends Rico Moran and the help of Mona Koochek starring the two hero friends Angelina Kiriakos and Charlie Berg as well as the memory friends Cole Gonzales and Jenny Vong. Our editor Mallory Robbins did such a fantastic job with the edit and made it all come together. It was a moment!"

Matthew Melchionne is an animator and musician living in Philadelphia. He is most interested in pastiche, sampling and collage. He’s not particularly good at talking about himself.
When I first had the opportunity to work for U2, it occurred to me that there was a poignant synecdoche implicit in the project. To me, Retracking a catalogue and the song ‘Miracle Drug,’ where Bono pleads for a medicine that will save a life, are both really paradoxical artistic statements. To honor a creative legacy while moving forward with energy. To accept and imminent death while yearning for a live-saving therapy. In my own limited way, I wanted to make a graphic that would suggest the cycle of flourishing/cU2ancerous growth and decay/life anew. I also really like desert settings for videos.
Of course I gagged when I learned that my work would be with U2. “Sunday Bloody Sunday” is in regular rotation at my DJ sets. I love how it builds on Nile Rogers disco guitar music but also anticipates Rave and Madchester. I think the earnest sentimentality of Bono’s lyrics and melodicism and The Edge’s novel approach to guitar playing unlocked a lot for me, as an adolescent!
