DAVID PORTEOUS
MUSICIAN DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER ARTIST
PHOTOGRAPHER
“…257 Down, a film focused on patience, endurance, and courage, to raise awareness about individuals who experience barriers in our society and inspire them, as well as open public discussion about this vital subject matter…a great example of how we can progress as a contemporary society.”
JUSTIN TRUDEAU,
PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA
“…not only a talented singer/songwriter,
but a talented filmmaker.”
JANICE FORSYTH, BBC
“David’s soulful voice, combined with his passionate guitar playing
ended with the audience loudly demanding several encores.”
BLICKPUNKT, GERMANY
”David Porteous has released another great CD."
TEGAN AND SARA
“It’s so compelling and intriguing…
it takes the musical experience
to a whole other level.”
ASHA TOMLINSON, CBC
"Any project of such wide scope has potential for missteps, but Porteous's earnest songs, which we literally watch him write on the battlefields of Europe, bring some urgency to events that for many of us are usually just pieces of history. And that's no small feat.”
BLOGTO
“left the crowd speechless.”
THE SHIELD
"We’re thrilled that David chose to support the Canadian Women’s Foundation through his East Coast Music Tour…The funds raised will help women and girls across Canada move out of violence, out of poverty, and into confidence. Thank you, David!"
JESSICA HOWARD,
CANADIAN WOMEN’S FOUNDATION
“Excellent film, really captures
the intensity of the event.”
BOB SMITH
“Another Lovely Timesuck: The Sicks and a Series About Toronto. If you’ve got 16 minutes to spare and have an affinity/hatred for Toronto, you’ll appreciate the pilot episode of The Sicks, created by David Porteous, which is all about life in the 6. There’s plenty of music content, too, like Thrift MP3, “Toronto’s only used MP3 store” (it’s NOT REAL, PEOPLE!) And be on the lookout for DR. AKE who calls out the real Drake to do something for charity.”
