Sam Fender shares video for "Little Bit Closer" starring Adolescence's Owen Cooper

Shot in the Lake District in the north-west of England, the video follows Owem Cooper and a group of friends on a camping trip to the Lakes, where Cooper’s character quietly contemplates questions of faith.

"It’s so great to be working with Phil [Barantini] again, I had no doubt he was the right director for this piece, his video for Spit of You was my favourite. Phil called to say he’d asked Owen if he’d like to be in the video, and that Owen was keen. I was elated that he could do it after seeing his incredible performance in Adolescence. Alongside Semera Khan [Creative Director] and the rest of the cast and team, they have created something beautiful," Sam Fender says.

Speaking about working with both Sam Fender and Owen Cooper on "Little Bit Closer", Philip Barantini says: "To have the opportunity to direct another video for Sam was an immediate yes - an absolute no-brainer for me! Not only is Sam an incredible artist but he’s a beautiful human and a great friend! Also, the opportunity to direct Owen again so soon after Adolescence was an absolute joy!"

Sam Fender previously worked with Barantini back in 2021, alongside fellow Adolescence star and co-writer Stephen Graham for the video to "Spit Of You".
