Steven Spielbergcan now add music video director to his iconic résumé.
Spielberg, 75, directed the official music video for Marcus Mumford’s “Cannibal,” the singer shared on social media. The song is featured on Mumford’s solo self-titled album, which is scheduled for a Sept. 16 release.
A behind-the-scenes photo Mumfordpostedto Twitter shows Spielberg sitting in a rolling chair and using his cell phone to capture footage of the Mumford & Sons frontman. Mumford also saluted Spielberg’s wife of 30 years, Kate Capshaw — who can be seen holding her husband’s chair in the snap — for serving as “the almighty dolly grip.”
Along with thanking Spielberg for being the director and Capshaw for stepping in as producer and art director, Mumford acknowledged the rest of his team: producer and behind-the-scenes videographer Kristie Macosko Krieger and his wife, actressCarey Mulligan, who also oversaw costume and sound. He jokingly referred to himself as “Some Chancer Mug” in the credits.
In the post, also shared on hisInstagram, Mumford included a group photo of his crew.
