Auteur music video director

Yoni Lappin: auteur music video director
-      constant movement that inspires his exploration of culture, identity, and youth through film, often circling back to the places that melded his own. 
-       themes that I subconsciously pick at.
-      interested in young culture and people and identity
-      snapshots of life, of reality and mixing that in a way that feels almost … you’re not really sure whether it’s reality or not.
-      identity plays a big role in my work

-      young people are at the forefront of where the worlds going

-      When you’re young, you feel like you can change the world and you can do what ever you want. That interests me. But I also was doing that because it worked with the music
