Sam Davey has been representing music video directors via independent agents OB Management since the mid-Noughties, playing a crucial role in bringing artists, labels and directors together, and involved in the making of hundreds of videos over that period. Winner of Best Agent at the UKMVAs 2021, we talked to Sam late last year about his work, what he looks for in directors, and how music video production looks right now.
