Can I Have A Mask

In partnership with Dazed Media, Gucci released a series of short films titled ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS, which features nine first-time directors typically seen in front of the camera—including Elle Fanning, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Kelvin Harrison Jr. Each short is visually stunning and playful, but Jodie Turner-Smith’s and Emma Corrin’s shorts topped the list for me. A few more installments in the series will be released next week.

Hot off the presses! Former PS assistant Sahan Jayawardena just came out with CAN I HAVE A MASK, a short film based on Sahan’s brother’s experience as a doctor in the early weeks of the pandemic. There has been a lot of COVID-related content dropping recently but Sahan’s short has a surprising amount of heart packed in, paired with some truly beautiful animation. Definitely check it out.
