Scott Stapp recently announced a brand new solo record called The Space Between the Shadows and now released the first official music video for “Purpose For Pain.” The video depicts a young Stapp brought up in a dysfunctional home and searching for an escape. Director Daniel E Catullo III filmed the video in Joshua Tree, California and used actor Omar Mughannam to portray Stapp. Catullo had nothing but great things to say about working with the former Creed frontman.
“I’ve worked with Scott for many years now and consider him one of my dearest friends. I was honored to be able to collaborate with him on this video and to direct the first video on the album. Coming up with creative ideas is always fun with Scott, and it is an extra bonus that we think alike in so many ways. For this video, it was a true collaborative effort and we went back and forth on a bunch of ideas until we decided on the final storyline. I think the final video captured the essence of the song perfectly.”
