Vincent Haycock of Park Pictures directed this video for U2’s emotional new single “Song for Someone.” The music clip stars Woody Harrelson as an inmate set free after a lengthy prison sentence.
Harrelson is not a hardened convict but one whose vulnerability is evident as he faces the change that freedom presents, including reuniting with his daughter whom he hadn’t seen since she was a tot. Portraying her is Harrelson’s real-life daughter, Zoe Harrelson.
The video was shot on location in California in two days by DP Steve Annis, with director Haycock also serving as editor. Some of the extras Haycock cast for the prison setting are former prison guards.

The Best Work You May Never See: McCann NY, Director Christian Breslauer Sound Grande For New York Lottery
McCann New York launched a campaign for the New York Lottery which includes this music video-style spot directed by Christian Breslauer of London Alley. The :30 features a signature song, “Sounds Grande,” as we see our featured music video protagonist get into the lotto spirit thanks to the new GRANDE Scratch-Off Games (up to $3 million in cash prizes, and a chance drawing for one of 100 VIP trips to Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami).
