Director's Works
GOVI, Couple More Times Jorden Lee
Jorden Lee is a Chinese‑Jamaican‑Canadian director working across commercial, music video, and narrative. Raised just outside Toronto, his multicultural upbringing has shaped a visual language rooted in perspective, authenticity and restraint.
Driven by a passion for storytelling and capturing striking imagery, he honed his cinematic eye starting with a foundation in photography that flourished into directing. His work favours story over spectacle, finding power in subtlety and intention.
A forgotten racing bike draws a young man toward his father’s unfinished dream, where memory and repair become a way of moving through absence.
Inspired by the lived experience of Chinese-Guyanese-Canadian artist GOVI, Couple More Times is rooted in his father’s migration to Canada, where the pursuit of professional cycling was quietly surrendered to the realities of parenthood. Through the act of restoration, GOVI traces the connection to his father, the bicycle, and the roots that set everything in motion.
Created by a multicultural artist and director duo, the video carries an immigrant story beneath its surface, unfolding as a quiet meditation on memory, repair, and the objects we hold onto when people drift away.
The video was shot on 35mm film over three days in the suburbs of Ajax, Ontario.
