DEADHORSES, the directing duo of Ivo Beckett and James Topley, has spent the last few years pushing the creative boundaries in music videos, pop promos and documentaries. Their trademark style is a combination of heavy stylised edits, unconventional camera work and textures to create a body of work that is rich in nostalgia whilst feeling urgent, hand-crafted and singular.

They grew up together watching video nasties and ‘giallo’ films, drawing inspiration from the expressive, unique and colourful visual styles embraced by both genres.They have carved out a distinctive style all their own, defined by an impressionistic approach to character and narrative combined with a unique editing style and a keen eye for stylistic detail. A visual style which they developed themselves through shooting, editing and doing VFX work on each project they take on.

They have directed a host of music videos, for artists such as Sam Fender, Jade, Becky Hill, The Libertines, Hak Baker and Joalin. Their work blends raw energy with strong imagery, making each video visually distinct and immersive, building a visual world around each artist they work with.
