Jackson Hunt

Jackson Hunt’s name might ring a bell if you’re into music videos that hit differently or if you’re the type who scours the credits for a glimpse behind the scenes. He’s the guy behind the lens for Beyoncé’s “Pretty Hurts” back in 2013—yeah, that one, where beauty pageants get ripped wide open and you feel like you’re right there in the thick of it, with every ounce of glitter and pain. Before that, he shot Manchester Orchestra’s “Simple Math” in 2011, which, honestly, is less a music video and more like a fever dream—blurring lines between reality and memory, all wrapped in those haunting melodies. Hunt knows how to make you feel something, even if you can’t quite put your finger on what that something is. He doesn’t just stick with music videos, though. There’s a feature called “Bunny” coming in 2025, and if his previous work is anything to go by, it’s not gonna be your typical cookie-cutter project. People are already buzzing, and who can blame them? The dude’s got a knack for visuals that don’t let go—even after the credits roll. You get the sense that whatever story he decides to tell, he’s gonna twist it, shake it up, and serve something that lingers. His style? It’s gritty but not grungy, poetic without feeling pretentious. Honestly, Hunt is one of those filmmakers you just keep an eye on, because no two projects ever look or feel the same, but they all leave a mark.
