Shortly after he began directing, he launched his own production company, More Sauce. Eve went on to direct dozens of music videos for Australian bands, including Faker,[9] Damien Leith, Small Mercies,[10] Cosima De Vito,[11] and Nikki Webster.[12] He was nominated for an IF Award for his multiple-award-winning music video for The Hot Lies' Emergency!
