JOEL PORTER : Godsend

Music

Role

  • Director
  • Editor

Joel Porter is one of the most thoughtful, intentional artists I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. It was an absolute honor when he sent me this track and asked if I’d create something for it.

Shot on location in Cicero, IN, with a handful of generous friends, this narrative music video presents a story of scars and distant whispers. A tired soul who is ready to give up on the prospect of healing after losing himself to false narratives and remedies—recounting his pain in an attempt to find peace.

“There’s no gimmick, no spectacle, no presentational airs. It’s not chasing something. It’s very comfortable in its own skin, in a way that would shock me if I knew it was made by a young person with little life experience… It may be bitter, but you know what you’re getting is truth right from the ground.”
