Hello and welcome to another episode of Iway with Jameeda Jamel. I hope you're well. I'm all right.

I

Having a brave week. It's not especially brave. It's just a bit brave for me because I am a coward.

So okay

I will try talking about it. My boyfriend is a very talented singer. His name is James Blake and he released a

album called Friends that Break Your Heart all about the pain of friendship breakups which I think is a really potent and amazing thing to talk about

um, but he uh he needed a music video for his song say what you will

and I wrote a treatment for a music video comedy music treatment for a video and I gave it to him

and he really liked it and so did his management so we went out and found a director

who would be willing to bring my vision to life and that was a man called Bear Damon who was

unbelievably cool and generous and

collaborative with me and didn't feel threatened by the fact that I was a woman or that it was my idea and he put his own spin on it

and we worked together so beautifully and he never once made me feel like I was imposing with my with my thoughts on the day of shooting

he was just such a legend to work with and I'm sad that I was so shocked and in awe of him for being

so kind and just treating me like an equal human being which is really the basics but

he is one in very few I found in this industry who who didn't just sort of talk down to me or dismiss me

so shout out to Bear Damon um and that video ended up doing really well in just one big award

and so that's really cool um for best music video and because of the success of that video even though

we didn't announce it that it was my idea or anything to do with me because we were afraid of the public

shooting on it or scrutinising it just because I had come up with the idea because obviously there

is a bit of an appetite online for me um but also you know to sort of um
