Singer/songwriter/producer MOD SUN shares a gritty, intimate, and raw short film for his powerful single “Battle Scars.”
Inspired by some of his favorite filmmakers, including Gus Van Sant, the short film was shot in a one-of-a-kind desert location. MOD co-directed the film with frequent collaborator Charlie Zwick (“Flames” feat. Avril Lavigne, “Bones”).
Sparked by MOD’s own story of overcoming toxic cycles of addiction & relationships, the music video shows the artist in a way he’s never seen before. He explains:
Battle Scars is such an important song to me. I really had to make sure the music video did it justice, which is why I knew it had to be a short film.
In the video, Mod faces off against co-star Zach Villa (American Horror Story), which is the second time this year the two have collaborated on film projects. Earlier this year, Zach starred alongside MOD in the stoner comedy, Good Mourning, which MOD co-wrote and co-directed with frequent collaborator Machine Gun Kelly.
