This mark Locke’s first such representation in the American market. He continues to direct music videos in the U.K. via his own company, Swords and Eagles.

He has since made his name as a director, working with the likes of Mahalia, Burna Boy, T-Pain, Meekz, Ella Mai, Iamddb, Headie One, Ella Eyre, Yxng Bane, and Skepta, and saw major success with Ed Sheeran’s blockbuster video “Take Me Back To London (remix),” featuring Aitch, alongside Stormzy, and Jaykae. Locke’s commercial and brand credits include New Balance and New Balance Football, Nokia, Red Bull, Adidas, Kellogg’s, Nestle, and Virgin Galactic.

    Frank Borin, co-founder and executive producer at UnderWonder, described Locke as “one of the biggest directors in the U.K. right now,” noting that “he’s repping his home city of Manchester, working with local and international artists, always creating the most authentic and exciting videos possible. We’re really looking forward to the work we’ll do together.” 

    “Frank and Ivanna [UnderWonder EP Borin] have built an impressive reputation within the music video and commercial worlds,” said Locke. “UnderWonder produces pulsating and culture-shifting films for some of the biggest names in the industry, and I’m beyond stoked to work alongside this award-winning roster of directors.”

    Jules Feiffer, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Cartoonist and Writer, Dies At 95

    Tuesday, January 21, 2025

    Jules Feiffer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and writer whose prolific output ranged from a long-running comic strip to plays, screenplays and children's books, died Friday. He was 95 and, true to his seemingly tireless form, published his last book just four months ago.

    Feiffer won the United States' most prominent awards in journalism and filmmaking, taking home a 1986 Pulitzer Prize for his cartoons and "Munro," an animated short film he wrote, won a 1961 Academy Award. The Library of Congress held a retrospective of his work in 1996.

    "My goal is to make people think, to make them feel and, along the way, to make them smile if not laugh," Feiffer told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in 1998. "Humor seems to me one of the best ways of espousing ideas. It gets people to listen with their guard down."

    Feiffer was born on Jan. 26, 1929, in the Bronx. From... Read More
