    MTV, Director Sindha Agha Pay Tribute To Women’s History Month With “The Waves”

    Directed by Sindha Agha and produced by female-led production company The Corner Shop, this short film titled The Waves for MTV brings an authentic insight into the Pain Gap–a bias in the medical community that leads to women’s pain being under researched, misdiagnosed, mistreated and/or untreated.

    Inspired by the words of Virginia Woolf, The Waves finds women engaged in familiar rituals of surviving and concealing chronic pain. Director Agha compels us to turn our gaze toward the suffering society has historically looked away from; her work is ultimately a testament to women’s strength— and a celebration of all the ways they survive and thrive. 

    Agha kicked off her career by writing and directing Birth Control Your Own Adventure, acquired by The New York Times, which quickly reached 12.5 million organic views, was nominated for a 2019 News & Documentary Emmy and selected for the Tribeca and Palm Springs film festivals. Agha has since been awarded two separate Sundance Institute fellowships, won the Cannes Lions Gold Young Director Award, won “Best Episodic” at Tribeca X, directed two seasons of her critically-acclaimed series Body Language for BBC Three, contributed to Radiolab, The New Yorker, Vox and The Atlantic, created the series Twenty Ten Twenty-Five for the Academy of American Poets and the Mellon Foundation, and directed a short film for The Wellcome Trust.

    The Waves will run across all linear/social/digital platforms within MTV Entertainment Group (MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, Paramount Network, CMT, Logo, Smithsonian Channel, PopTV, TV Land) throughout March, which is Women’s History Month.

    DAVID New York Unveils Rom-Com Inspired Valentine’s Day Film for Clash of Clans

    Monday, February 9, 2026

    Valentine’s Day is all about the celebration of love, but not only the candle-lit, hand-holding, couples-only kind; it’s also for groups of friends, too. Clash of Clans is “clashifying” familiar romantic comedy tropes into heartfelt Clash bromances.

    Groups of friends who clan together can drift apart. Life happens, schedules misalign and those who once clashed together leave their clan hanging. This campaign film, created by DAVID New York, shows these players reuniting by reimagining famous romantic scenes. In one scene, a group of friends stands outside a friend’s window with a phone playing iconic sounds from the game, calling out to their bro and pleading with him to come back to the clan. In another, two friends surprise a friend at his door, holding up signs inviting him to return to playing the game together. The next sequence shows in-game characters embodying that same spirit of bromance, by putting aside their rivalries to help each other compete in Clan Wars.

    “Rom-coms have always shown us how powerful emotional storytelling can be. For this campaign, we reimagined those classic tropes to celebrate friendship and connection in a way that feels playful, heartfelt, and true to the world of Clash of Clans,” said Andre Toledo, chief creative officer at DAVID New York.

    Production was handled by Gravy Films, with Crobin Leo as the director.
