Creative production house London Alley has added international director Melody Maker to its roster for U.S. representation spanning commercials, branded content and music videos. The London-based Maker’s most notable work includes BMW’s “Nightride” featuring musician and writer Nabihah Iqbal, Revolut’s collaboration with U.K. boxer Anthony Joshua, a campaign for Oppo Reno 2, and music videos for U.K. hitmakers Greentea Peng and Mahalia.
With expertise in visual storytelling and VFX, Maker had been repped in the U.K. by The Mill+ from 2018-’20 before shifting to freelancing, which she continues to do, in that market. At The Mill+ she directed and advised on live-action projects with VFX integration.
Meanwhile prior to joining London Alley, Maker had briefly been repped in the U.S. by Great Guns. Self-taught and self-made, Maker has a passion for storytelling that was sparked during her previous career in fashion as a creative director leading efforts for lifestyle and fashion brands.
“London Alley is home to some of the top directorial minds in the business, each of us bringing something unique to the table,” shared Maker. “As a visual storyteller at heart, I love experimenting with various techniques and mediums to infuse a distinctive texture into my films. My focus is on achieving movement and fluidity, ranging from choreography to VFX and beyond. I’ve always admired how London Alley elevates their clients to cultural transcendence, so I am looking forward to showcasing my style on future projects.”
London Alley founder Luga Podesta said, “Melody has that rare ability to bring her vision to life through an artistic style that’s completely her own. It’s obvious why she’s made such a name for herself in the U.K. and we couldn’t be more excited by her limitless potential here in the U.S. with our team.”
Maker’s directorial credits also include shooting in the deep underbelly of the Mississippi Delta for the award-winning Starz TV network show, P-Valley.
