PRETTYBIRD filmmaker Salomon Ligthelm reteams with English-Nigerian artist Little Simz on the conceptual and visually rich music video “Flood.”
Featuring Obongjayar & Moonchild Sanelly, “Flood” is a hyper-stylized meditation on materialism and its role in shaping culture.

True to his signature photographic style--which borders on the edge of fine-art-like--the framing and texture of ‘Flood’ plays quite minimalist while the performances are equally playful and extravagant.
Ligthelm previously directed Little Simz’s 2021 award-winning music video “Introvert.”
