Video: “Obey the Giant – The Story of Shepard Fairey”

You may recall a post we did a year ago about a Kickstarter campaign that made me do a double take.“Obey the Giant,” a 25-minute, lightly fictionalized film by RISD student Julian Marshall on the origin story of Shepard Fairey and his Obey campaign. Giving it some authenticity the project had the street art great's official seal of approval as well.

You can now view the film in its entirety below, and my opinion on it is still that of “this is so strange.” I will say it is well shot and at 20 minutes won’t take much effort or commitment so grab some popcorn and click play.

Video: Dirty Projectors - "Hi Custodian" (A Film by David Longstreth)

Dirty Projectors’ frontman David Longstreth puts on his takes writing and directing hats in the band’s latest creative project, a short film entitled Hi Custodian. The piece has been in the works for quite some time so it’s great to finally see a finished product.  Longstreth describes the themes of the film as being “made out of a dream” and it of course features tunes from the Dirty Projectors, including alternative mixes and unreleased jams from the Swing Lo Magellan sessions. The whole thing clocks in at about 20 minutes and is pretty out there but nothing unexpected to those who follow the band, check it out below…..

Swiss creative team Ramon & Pedro have produced the short film, ‘Le Miroir’. It tells the story of a man, as time passes from childhood to senior citizen participating in a very relatable daily routine. Clever stuff.
