Riff Raff Films has announced a new arrival to its Nursery of Evil, directing duo Humans.
Made up of esteemed creative directors Thom Whitaker and Danielle Outhwaite-Noel, Humans have worked at some of the most respected agencies in the industry such as Mother, Wieden+Kennedy London, and Grey. They have amassed a great number of awards throughout their career so far, including 5 Cannes Lions, 8 D&AD Pencils, 10 British Arrows, 5 Campaign Big, and 10 Creative Circle Awards.
Humans have been shooting music videos with Riff Raff since December 2019 when they filmed British grime MC, DJ, and Record Producer D Double E’s video for Fresh N Clean (Silence the Critics). Since then, they have directed two more promos with Riff Raff, Animals’ Kawala and most recently Shane Codd’s Get Out My Head.
Humans comment: “We love Riff Raff because they’re all about ideas. No wait, craft, with ideas. And craft. OK, it’s all about both. Which is exactly how we like to approach things too. We couldn't be more excited to be joining them!”
Matthew Fone says: “I have a lot of experience helping creatives become directors, and part of that is taking an objective look at their ideas, how they are on set, and their interaction with both the crew and whoever is paying for the job. Anyone who knows Danni and Thom will know how good they are with people, but what they are about to find out is how good they are as Directors. Watch the Music Videos we have been doing together, and then send some scripts over. R/GA and Cash App in the States did!”
