The music video:

In a last-ditch attempt to give the album "Saudade" a final big push, I approached long-time friend, filmmaker, musician and Portuguese pirate Augusto Lado to shoot a music video for the song "Fortitude."
I originally had a specific concept in mind, but Augusto came up with a treatment which made my gut realize that I needed to give him 100% creative control throughout shooting and post-production. I reckon that I was right to do so. Production took place over three rainy days in Porto, Portugal, back in early May of 2016. Invaluable assistance was provided by Ricardo Cunha Marinho, who also helped find the seedy pension as well as provide lots of laughter during the shoot.
