Created in Birmingham

… the video for Wise Blood’s ‘TV Dinner Lady‘ by Stickleback Productions.

This was actually announced a couple of weeks back but I seem to have missed it. Well done to all involved – participants and organisers alike. (UPDATE – organiser Carl Timms has asked me to give a big thumbs up to Screen WM and Brumcast’s Little Chris for helping to find the bands).

The runner-up by the tiniest of tiny margins was the video for Fatboi 5′s ‘Bullet’, filmed by Andrew Goodman and Steven Spencer of team Hairwolf.
