Our first episode features director Luke Orlando, who just released the music video for “Potential” by LAUV. In the interview, Luke talks about his new video, moonlighting as a treatment writer, and why he got so nervous when he worked with Clairo. The interview went so well, that Luke decided to just join me for the following interviews as co-host, fulfilling his dream of being the Andy Richter of the music video world.
