Music News: Stranger Things Star Directs George Harrison Video

Finn Wolfhard has stepped behind the camera to direct a brand-new music video honouring the legacy of George Harrison.

The Stranger Things star teamed up with a group of Canadian artists on the new stop-motion clip for his 1973 hit Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth).

It took the work of 20 stop-motion artists who built it all by hand.

The ambitious production was spearheaded by Torontoâs Nobody Told Me Studios in collaboration with Tye Down Pictures.

The 22-year-old actor and musician â who portrays Mike Wheeler on hit Netflix series Stranger Things â revealed how meaningful the project was to him, describing the collaboration as a career highlight.

Wolfhard went on to reflect on the personal impact Harrisonâs music has had on him.

He explained: âItâs hard to put into words how grateful I am for this opportunity. George Harrison has and will continue to be a huge inspiration to me, and his work will live on forever.â

The late Beatleâs son, Dhani Harrison, executive-produced with David Zonshine, and said his father â who died in 2001, aged 58, from cancer â would have âlovedâ the creation.

Composer Dhani, 47, said: âFinn is one of the sweetest and most talented people I know of his generation, and he is the perfect person to direct a video for my dad.

âMy dad would have loved this, and I hope his wonderful, creative, heartfelt ideas help this song reach another generation. Great job, Finn â we love you.â

The video takes the viewer on a journey through Harrisonâs private state, Friar Park, in Henley-On-Thames, with many nods to the musicianâs career throughout.

This year saw Wolfhard kick off his music career with his debut album Happy Birthday.

In an interview with Dork, the multi-hyphenate explained that he made the collection after a period of âwallowingâ.

He said: âI was going through something. I had no idea why I was feeling a certain way, so I just wrote about it. I put the wallowing to good use.â
