BRTHR are a Brooklyn film production duo, Alex Lee and Kyle Wightman are the two members. Their Videos are appropriate to contemporary audiences that like fast paced and disorientating music videos. You could suggest they represent what is the epitome of post-MTV whilst bringing a unique look to their videos by using grainy vintage effects which make their style recognisable.
Here are some of their projects, taken from the portfolio section on their website:

| As you can see from this portfolio, they have worked with a wide range of popular contemporary artistes. One video they worked on (Party Monster) was one of my influences that I previously spoke about. |
Paul Thomas Anderson
Anderson is known for his feature-length films. He has quite a knack for making mundane techniques appear stylish and current and his work tells a story vividly with his patient craft. One example of his recent pieces is his video for Radiohead's "Daydreaming" which at a glance is simplistic but it is under closer inspection where the Mise-en-scene and references throughout the video can be noticed; giving it a deeper meaning with a powerful execution that works well with the events in Radiohead's lead singer, Thom Yorke's, life (Divorced from his wife).
Dave Meyers & The Little Homies
Dave Meyers has been making video or a couple decades now, picking up awards along the way. He has collaborated with artistes such as Jay Z, Britney Spears and Missy Elliott. His most recent work is arguably his best - he collaborated with Kendrick Lamar to make up "The Lil Homies"; which created the Video for "HUMBLE" and "LOYALTY" on Kendrick's 2017 album "DAMN". This videos for both have been widely created and even won
at the VMA's.
Dave Meyers also directed one of Justin Timberlake's latest music videos "Supplies" which tackles contemporary problems in society. This is evident at the start of the video when JT is staring at an array of screens showing clips from the news (Including Kevin Spacey and Donald Trump).
