CONVERSE X TYLER
I might be bending the rules by categorizing a Converse ad as a “short film,” but Tyler, The Creator directed a funny spot for them this week that unfolds like a Tim Robinson sketch (see my TV rec above). Tim Meadows carries the short, playing a character refusing to accept expulsion from the “Really Cool Converse Club,” whose membership apparently includes Vince Staples and Bill Walton. Watch the spot here, and trust that I wasn’t paid by Converse to write this (though I’m open to receiving payment )...
And I’m going to continue to bend the rules by sneaking in additional recommendations that aren’t shorts of any kind: Tyler and Vince have both released new albums in the past month that should be soundtracking the rest of your summer!
