Music Video Feature: Oscar Jerome - “The Fork”
“Because of the very human sensitivities of the story, film was the only option for the format of shooting. The landscapes are kind of a secondary character within the film, they are all representative of different stages of Oscar’s introspection.” - Milo Blake, director

Some side by side frames with the street photography that inspired the visual language of our film for Ottobock with @lebergfilm and @presence.gmbh
Saul Leiter and Ernst Haas use of blurring, obscuring, reflections, odd angles and use of graphic shape communicated the emotion and the chaos of travelling sometimes. Thank you again to @mikaaltskan for the fun had on this one and to @4lmntz for helping us to make it happen.
Welcome to LE BERG @m_hblake
Milo is part of a new wave of talent coming out of London — a director whose work moves fast, hits deep, and leaves a mark. Emerging from the city’s music and subculture scenes, Milo’s films are grounded in real emotion but aren’t afraid to bend reality. His style balances grit with poetry, and a rhythm that keeps you leaning in.
Earlier this year, he took home a Gold YDA for his film with the Paralympic Team Belgium, which also sparked our first project together: a powerful new spot for Ottobock. We’re proud to represent Milo in Germany and Switzerland, and couldn’t be more excited for what’s next!
@m_hblake is a trailblazing UK director known for his technical expertise and fearless creativity. He had recently won the Gold Commercial Award at YDA for his powerful film “The Empty Seat”. His fresh, innovative voice has also earned him recognition from prestigious organizations such as UKMVAs, Young Arrows, Kinsale Sharks, Ciclope or Vimeo Staff Picks, establishing him as one of the industry's most exciting and promising talents.
We're thrilled to have him on board!
SWIPE SLOW - Response to the film has been amazing, thank you to all who have given it their time ❤️
124,410 families in England are on the brink of homelessness and the UK continues to top the charts for those in temporary accommodation within Europe. Please continue to repost and more importantly DONATE at the link in my bio.
Wanted to share some refs and inspo’s behind how we choose to visualise the film. Charles Burnett Killing of Sheep and Hirokazu Koreeda’s Shoplifters really shaped the style of frames I wanted to capture and the intention to highlight the tension of their circumstances but also the humanity in the characters ❤️
