Michelle Andrade 'Na Samoti' by Shapxo

David Knight - 20th July 2023

Ukranian director Shapxo creates a stylish, action-packed tour de force for singer/rapper Michelle Andrade, who powers through a gritty, neon-drenched urban landscape on a speeding motorbike.

Filmed for the Ukranian artist's track Na Samoti with a largely Ukranian crew, but due to the Russo-Ukranian War filmed in Warsaw, Poland, Shapxo (aka Artem Shapirenko) displays the exciting visual style that has also been in evidence in works like the Kodak-sponsored short film The Enemy, to create a video that looks like a big budget affiar - with great motorbike and drone shots - but created on a shoestring.  

Shapxo is evidently an exciting talent to watch. And this film is dedicated to the memory of a director who provided him with inspiration: Valentin Petit. The film ends with a message from Shapxo to the director who tragically died in May.

"I met Valentin Petit before he grew wings," he tells us. "He was the biggest inspiration for me, that's why I decided to dedicate this work to him and that's why this work means a lot to me."
