Noble Park North’s Nick Kozakis received yet another ARIA nomination in November for the Best Video award after directing ‘Won’t Sleep’ by Tones and I.
It was the third consecutive year that he was nominated for an ARIA.
Inspired by his love for horror films, Kozakis, co-director Liam Kelly and producer Tim Whiting staged the spectacular at the Palais Theatre in St Kilda.
The video pays playful homage to popular horror movies as well as Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
With more than 100 cast and crew, it was the biggest, most expensive clip made in Australia, Mr Kozakis said.
“As a horror enthusiast, it was fun and it was very stressful,” Kozakis said. “We shot over two days, and there was not a single weak link.”
Kozakis had previously worked with Tones and I on her smash hit ‘Dance Monkey’ in 2019.
Unfortunately Kozakis was unsuccessful with the award going to Vance Joy for his title, ‘Missing Piece’.
Kozakis was raised in Noble Park and now lives in Noble Park North in order to stay close to his parents.
