Vance Joy’s romantic getaway

Australian artist Vance Joy has unveiled this epic and beautifully performed promo starring Erana James (Alien: Earth) and Tom Wilson (Heart Break High), directed by Bill Bleakley of MOFA, for his song Divine Feelings.  

Set against the expansive backdrop of the Australian outback and taking aesthetic inspiration from the likes of Badlands by Terrence Malick and Thelma & Louise by Ridley Scott, the film opens with an action-packed police chase as a young couple escape a robbery.

Miraculously, they manage to escape, checking into a remote motel where they share fleeting romantic mini break, but the man wakes up the next morning to find his accomplice, and his truck, missing.  

"Divine Feelings is actually part two of our story, part one will be released when the song Fascination In The Dark is released in a couple of weeks," explains director Bleakley. 

"Releasing part two first is an unexpected way to do it, but we thought it was more interesting this way. I worked with Vance Joy and his team for previous video for Every Side Of You, that clip went on to win an ARIA for best music video so the expectations for this project were high! The brief was very open and Vance Joy’s team gave me a lot of freedom in the production process which was awesome."
