David Lynch and Chrysta Bell Release New Music Video for 'The Truth Is'
David Lynch and Chrysta Bell have released a new music video for the song 'The Truth Is', originally produced in 2011 and featured on Bell's solo album 'This Train'. The video is directed by Golnaz Jamsheed, a California-born filmmaker (San Francisco, 1984) who previously worked with Abbas Kiarostami and won the first prize of the David Lynch Master of Fine Arts in Film in 2016 for her short film 'Avo'. The video depicts a teenage boy in his bedroom who, through a pop song by his favorite singer, learns to accept his nature and passions without fear or shame, using crossdressing as a form of self-expression during a dreamlike playback sequence. This phenomenon of crossdressing in music videos is noted as prevalent in contemporary culture, referencing Johan Renck's 2003 video for The Knife's 'Pass This On' and social media platforms like TikTok.
