In 2013, a director nobody had heard of submitted his first batch of music videos. By the end of the year, he had received more nominations at the MuchMusic Video Awards than any other Canadian director in the award's entire history — in a single year.
He beat Director X. He beat every veteran in the country. And he wasn't even trying to.
That same night, he won MMVA Director of the Year and Best Electronic Video. Two trophies. First year. No one saw it coming.
A year later, he took home the Cannes Young Director Award — Gold, First Prize — the most prestigious award for emerging directors at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Then he won it again.
His music video for Thugli's "Run This" — a visceral narrative about police corruption — was featured on Vice, covered by Gizmodo, and polarized audiences worldwide. The Cynical Owl called it "disturbing." Run The Trap called it "too hot for the internet." Cannes called it Gold.
His video for Keys N Krates' "Dum Dee Dum" — where he introduced electronic music to a Mennonite community — was certified RIAA Gold (500,000 units). Red Bull covered it. Raannt called it "perfection."
His video for Autoerotique's "Asphyxiation" went viral through Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records. GQ Magazine covered it. Dance Music NW's headline: "Asses Everywhere."
Then came Rudimental. "Sun Comes Up" featuring James Arthur. Shot in South Africa. 34.6 million views. #6 on the UK Singles Chart. The biggest video of his career — and proof that he could operate at the absolute highest international level.
Every video is completely different. A different world. A different tone. A different visual language. But they share one thing: an uncompromising level of craft that only a handful of directors worldwide can sustain.
His name is Amos Le Blanc. He directs from Toronto and Los Angeles. And he's here.
