Two musicians, and the graphic novel they made together.
For Dr. Martens, we made a brand film about the Adelekan brothers, of Metronomy and Gorillaz, built around the graphic novel they created together outside of music. Filmed at home, ink and pages sit alongside the instruments and records that also fill their world.
The observational approach keeps the setting domestic and the brothers at ease within it. Family life and creative collaboration are not separated into different ideas. They sit naturally alongside one another, giving the finished film its intimacy and focus.
Directed, shot and edited by Stu McCardle.
