STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
Visit Talkhouse for an insightful conversation between Mark Pellington and Matthew Caws (Nada Surf).
Pellington recently directed the Nada Surf music film “Just Wait,” which Talkhouse calls “striking, timely and deeply resonant." Personally, these are some of the most compelling and moving visuals I've seen this year.
What a fantastic interview last week with Mark Pellington on Sirius XM’s Debatable with legendary MTV VJ Mark Goodman and former SPIN and VIBE editor Alan Light! Click the image for some excerpts.
Pellington’s new music film for Nada Surf, “Just Wait,” is out now.
Mark Pellington's gorgeous 10-minute music film "Just Wait" by Nada Surf is streaming now over at Rolling Stone or at the link below. Filmed globally in three cities, Cambridge (UK), Los Angeles, and Sydney, Pellington calls the work, “a labor of love inspired by Matthew Caws (of Nada Surf)’s late father Peter’s profound meditations."
Director Mark Pellington has had more influence on pop culture than most rock stars; He’s worked with most of them, too.
If you ask, “What’s one word that comes to mind when you say ‘Pearl Jam,’” the answer may very well be “Jeremy.” This past summer, as reported by Variety, Pearl Jam officially released the uncensored version of their groundbreaking video, which MTV originally refused to air at the time of its release.
“I am addicted to images, and addicted to the creation of them,” Pellington says. “I adore the creation of imagery from imagination, allowing and accessing the subconscious to formulate the image created in collaboration with others. A music video is like a poem, a free form often-direct access to my subconscious.”
In 2020, Pellington continues to do just that with a new long-form video on tap for esteemed indie rock band Nada Surf, which has just wrapped post-production for a scheduled late October release.
