About Nothing Lost
Chas Appeti and Junior Okoli are two creatives with a strong background in cinematography, film, music and visual arts. Chas is a well-known and respected music video director and DOP who has been creating videos and visual art pieces for many years, and Junior is a passionate director, writer and story-teller. Having met five years ago, the two immediately sparked a dynamic friendship. Growing up on the wrong side of inner city London and Kent, the two shared mutual insights and experiences of a world very few get to see; that insight, along with a strong interest for film and music, allowed the two of them the confidence and resolve to experiment with their creativity. What followed was the realization that they had a genuine passion in “creating dope shit”, as Chas put it, and so Nothing Lost was formed. With strong links in and throughout the music and creative art scene in the UK and abroad, Nothing Lost’s style of honest yet beautiful visuals and storyline has captivated the scene. Shortlisted in the Saatchi & Saatchi New Creators Class of 2019 for the piece called ‘Woke’, the duo are new, fresh thinking, unapologetic and passionate about their craft. They say, “We want to create the visuals and tell the stories that most people can’t, because stories like those last forever.” Earlier this year, Chas and Junior were jointly selected for inclusion in Variety’s 2022 edition of the “10 Europeans to Watch” list.
