Devonté Hynes, known to many as Blood Orange, is Volume 9 of The Directors Series. Watch his work here.
A multi-faceted musician and visual artist, Devonté has developed a deeply personal and strikingly beautiful visual universe through his self-directed music videos, one that exists in seamless dialogue with his acclaimed body of music. Beyond his own work, he has directed videos for Beck and Mykki Blanco, and composed scores for films including Palo Alto, Queen & Slim, Passing, Mainstream, Master Gardener, and the upcoming The Invite.
Emma and Jason sit down with Devonté for a career-spanning conversation about the relationship between music and moving images, alongside a program of videos selected by Dev himself.
