Gregory Porter – Revival
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Music Videos / Direction / 2020
Set against the backdrop of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, this film follows the story of a boy who finds his inner strength and confidence through dance. Utilising scale and optical illusions as a symbolic vessel, it crafts a narrative around a tiny boy who slowly grows larger and larger as the film progresses, both physically, and internally. Gregory Porter’s powerful lyrics narrate the film and serve as a motivation for this growth, with the intention of bringing hope and empowerment to our youth.
