Courteney Cox is making her mark as a music video director - more specifically, as a music video director for Irish artists.
Last year, the actress directed Kodaline's video for 'Love Will Set You Free', and now she's turned her attention to Northern Irish musician Foy Vance.
Not only did she direct the video for his new single 'Coco', but it also stars her daughter with David Arquette, who is also called Coco.
She explained that she first got to know Vance via her partner, Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol:
"Johnny brought Foy into my life a few years ago and, immediately, he became a very close friend. He also got to know my daughter, Coco, and a song was born.
From the first time Foy played “Coco” for me (and every time I’ve heard it since), I’ve felt he captured, not only Coco’s unique personality, but also the beautiful childhood innocence that sadly, but inevitably, fades with time. It is like a snapshot of the world as seen through a child's eyes… sung by a man who is moved by how the world seems from her perspective. I think it’s a perspective that we, as adults, never stop longing for.
Naturally, I was thrilled when Foy asked if I would direct the video for "Coco". My hope is that I conveyed in a visual way the many levels of feeling that Foy’s song so brilliantly expressed. I am struck, and continue to be struck, by Foy’s incredible soul as a musician and father… he is a truly unique human being… and I am proud to call him a friend.
