Saam Farahmand is the golden child of the UK music video scene at the moment. Just a few years out of university, he's already got clips for too-coo-for-school bands like Good Shoes, New Young Pony Club, The Klaxons, M.I.A., and Simian Mobile Disco under his belt.
A graduate of London's famed Goldsmith's College, Farahmand studied painting and sculpture and filmmaking. Upon graduation, he took a job at MTV where he produced dozens of bizarre station IDs and bumpers before tiring of the corporate grind and leaving to do live visuals for hipster rock acts like The Rapture and Zongamin. It was around this time that a silly clip Farahmand had cut of George Bush and Tony Blair lipsynching "Gay Bar" by Electric 6 became a viral sensation online. The clip wound up as part of a group show entitled "Oh What There Is" at London's Spectacle Gallery and even landed him representation by Partizan in 2004. Since that time he's been churning out infectious music videos and is currently working on a tour documentary about Soulwax, the rock band fronted by Belgian superstar DJs and mash-up maestros 2manydjs.
His most recent video for Simian Mobile Disco's "Huster" has become something of a viral phenomenon unto itself as well. It never hurts to devote your video to a handful of London it-girls making out while playing a game of "chinese whispers." Check the clip here
