About
Chris Barrett & Luke Taylor have directed together for twenty years, making over 70 films together.
They met studying Graphic Design at Kingston University, where their first collaboration, a music video for Thom Yorke, won first place at the D&AD Student Awards.
Their work spans narrative, music video and commercials. They have directed Paul Giamatti, Paul Mescal and Guy Pearce. Their film Eulogy, the fifth episode of Black Mirror Season 7 for Netflix, was widely called the standout of the season. It earned nominations across the Golden Globes, Emmy Awards, Astra TV Awards and BSC, contributing to Black Mirror’s most decorated awards season in the show’s history. Creator Charlie Brooker called it “one of my favourite Black Mirror episodes of all time.”
Their music video work spans videos for The Rolling Stones, Radiohead, Jack White, Harry Styles and Hozier. Their Radiohead video won Music Video of the Year at the Shots Awards.
In commercials they have directed for Apple, Nike, Airbnb, IKEA and Sunday Times, winning four Creative Circle Golds, a D&AD Silver and a Cannes Lion.
