Niall Trask is a UK-based director working with Riff Raff Films (US/UK) on their Nursery of Evil roster, specializing in atmospheric, narrative-driven music videos shot on film stock. His breakthrough came with Alabaster DePlume's "Invincibility" for International Anthem Records, which won a D&AD Wood Pencil for Direction in Narrative Music Video in 2025. The piece—a surreal story of a mother and daughter rushing their injured dog to the vet—was produced by Riff Raff with DP Adric Watson, editor Eden Read, and colourist Dan Levy. Trask's portfolio includes videos for Jamie T, Fat White Family, Nadine Shah, Pumarosa, Pregoblin (featuring Pete Doherty), For Those I Love, Eyes Of Others, and Gaz Coombes. He frequently works in black-and-white 16mm, drawing influence from Jonathan Miller's M.R. James adaptations and nautical ghost stories. His 2020 video for Nadine Shah's "Trad," shot off Ramsgate with DP Rob Jarvis, exemplifies his moody, textured aesthetic. Trask's work has been featured in Promonews, Directors' Library, and SHOTS. Despite joining Riff Raff in 2024, no commercial advertising work is documented.
