June 18th, 2013 Nina Corcoran

The hype for Kanye West’s new album, Yeezus, which dropped today, has been through the roof these past few days. With his new American Psycho-Inspired short film, he’s only continuing the trend.

A number of projections were scheduled to occur around the world to promote the new album days before its June 18 release date. Los Angeles was able to see the short film early when it was screened on the walls of Milk Studios this past weekend, but West has now posted it on his website and on YouTube.

“It wasn’t some gigantic Radiohead conceptual-brainchild thing,” the Gaslight Anthem drummer Benny Horowitz told Rolling Stone. The film was based a single record and the effect it can have throughout its lifespan.

MOVIE REVIEW: The ABCs Of Death

February 8th, 2013 Justin Proper

Film: The ABCs Of Death
Executive Producers: Ant Timpson and Tim League
Studio: Drafthouse Films

Horror anthology movies are nothing new. From Tales From The Crypt to V/H/S short horror films put together to form a feature length film is a great way for short films and their directors to get exposure they would not usually get. Usually these anthologies have three to five stories, but this year a film was released that had a few more segments than the usual. Instead of a handful of shorts The ABCs Of Death has twenty six, one for each letter of the …

THE SHORT CUT: An Interview with Director Chris Jones

September 10th, 2012 Brian Lion

Australia’s own Chris Jones got his start as a freelance children’s book illustrator while working on his Industrial Design degree at Swinburne University of Technology, later to get involved with computer games at Beam Software. He eventually left Beam (by then known as Infogrames) in 2000 to begin working on The Passenger; an impressive, animated short film that took approximately six long years for Jones to complete, entirely on his own. A true passion project!

The director himself took some time to speak with me about short films, his inspirations and all things The Passenger, so read through …

Linkin Park have released their official music video for the latest single off Living Things, “Lost In The Echo.”

High On Fire Release “Fertile Green” Music Video

August 17th, 2012 Justin Proper

What better way to kickoff a weekend to remember (aren’t they all?) than with a bit of Grindhouse-loving metal?

High on Fire have unleashed their ferocious new video for “Fertile Green” and we’re still trying to pick our jaws off the floor from the first viewing earlier today. The track slays, just like the rest of HoF’s work, but it’s the distinct grindhouse look/feel of this video that will make your stand on end. From the description:

“The video follows (the) story of Balteazeen, the Christ Twin, who sacrificed himself to give Jesus life. Forever hunted, he roams the slaughterhouse …

SHORT FILM: Sam (Is Dead) – Tyler the Creator and Domo Genesis

June 29th, 2012 Jacob Tender

It’s midnight EST. This means the brand new short film, directed by Wolf Haley, has reached it’s awaiting audience.

The film stars Domo Genesis and Lee Spielman of Trash Talk, Manface, Lionel “L-Boy” Boyce, Brick Stowell, Lucas Vercetti, and Tyler, The Creator himself. The score to the film was also done by Tyler. The film takes place in a wooded warzone. While I think the initial shock factor has dissipated from OFWGKTA’s arsenal, the video is another in a run of clever and disturbed viral sensations that only Odd Future can present.

You can decide for yourself by watching the …
