    • #1 - Guy Franklin (Writer/Director)

      This week Chris and Clay sit down with writer/director Guy Franklin, who has directed music videos for the likes of Kimbra, Delta Goodrem, and Guy Sebastian. So far, his videos have been played more than 50 million times online, and in 2011 his video for Kimbra’s “Cameo Lover” was nominated for an ARIA award. Guy is now in LA pursuing his first TV pilot currently titled "Holly", based around the experience of a young, sheltered woman entering the LA porn industry.

      Straight out of University, Guy broke into the industry with his first music video for Kimbra's "Settle Down", followed closely by "Cameo Lover". After the success of those clips, Guy spent the next year and a half directing videos for All The Colours, Delta Goodrem, Guy Sebastian, Montaigne, and a series of live performance videos for Virgin Airlines.
