PRETTYBIRD Director Salomon Ligthelm Reunites With Little Simz On “Flood” Music Video
PRETTYBIRD filmmaker Salomon Ligthelm reteams with English-Nigerian artist Little Simz on the conceptual and visually rich music video “Flood.”

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.”
