Karena Evans Wins Best Director at iHeartRadio MMVAs

Toronto native director Karena Evans won Director of The Year at the 2018 iHeartRadio MMVAs for her work on Drake’s “God’s Plan” music video.

Evans was nominated twice in the category, the other nomination being for her video for Drake’s “Nice For What.”

She received additional nods for Video of The Year and Fan Fave Video. The win comes in a year where the 22-year old has rapidly become one of the world’s most sought after directors in the entertainment industry. In addition to “God’s Plan” and “Nice For What,” the Evans collaborated with Drake on his videos for “I’m Upset” and the viral #1 hit “In My Feelings.” 

All four videos were produced by Director X and Taj Critchlow's Toronto-based production company Popp Rok. Earlier this year she was also the recipient of the prestigious Lipsett Award which is presented to a Canadian music video artist for their innovative and unique approach to music video art.
