Production company Doomsday Entertainment and director Hiro Murai unveiled this music video for Childish Gambino’s hit track “Little Foot Big Foot” featuring Young Nudy. The 6:33-minute music video starring “Abbott Elementary” creator and star Quinta Brunson captures Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, as he effortlessly dances his way through a speakeasy bar until an unexpected guest arrives, transporting viewers to a bygone era with its nostalgic black-and-white aesthetics.
Murai turned out groundbreaking work on Childish Gambino’s “This Is America,” which earned Best Music Video distinction at the 2019 Grammy Awards. He channels his zeitgeist-setting style into spots for brands such as Beats by Dre, Nike, Expedia, and music videos for artists like Earl Sweatshirt, Chet Faker, and FKA twigs. Most recently Murai served as executive producer on FX’s The Bear, now in its third season.

Director Gia Coppola Teams With Mejuri For “A New York Minute”; 1st Episode Takes Us To The Grocery Store
Mejuri, known for turning fine jewelry into an everyday luxury, has partnered with director Gia Coppola (The Last Show Girl, Palo Alto) and The Directors Bureau in Los Angeles, for the first time reimagining the brand’s story as episodic content. In a series of microfilms, co-created by Coppola and premiering following New York Fashion Week, Mejuri eschewed a typical celebrity campaign and cast us as voyeurs to a group of aspiring young women--real people, not actors--at the crossroads of their adult lives against the backdrop of New York City.
Titled “A New York Minute,” the series features five real-life friends, who include one perfectly imperfect heroine named Emma. The women celebrate ordinary moments and interactions which reveal, sometimes retrospectively, the extraordinary within the mundane. Adjacent to the brand’s own community, the 30-something year old cast includes Laura Love (Emma), Rebecca Ressler, Natalie Vall-Freed and Rozzi Crane. Mejuri’s jewelry makes an appearance as the best supporting actor.
“When I met with Gia and The Directors Bureau team, there was instant creative and personal chemistry and a natural alignment on the desire to push and blur the lines between marketing, storytelling, and the construct of what a ‘campaign’ could be,” said Jacob Jordan, chief brand officer, Mejuri. “Gia was able to push that idea into something that truly feels new and artful, with a realism and relatability that almost feels jarring. Gia was such a perfect collaborator and partner, someone I had complete trust in to be a catalyst for Mejuri’s values of celebrating women as their truest selves. I can’t wait for us to continue to tell the next chapters of this story.”
