Watch Odd Future's Short Film "Sam Is Dead"
Odd Future frontman Tyler, the Creator has always had cinematic aspirations, directing videos for "She" and "Yonkers," the latter dubbed "video of the year" by Kanye West. With the new mini-movie Sam is Dead, the video for a track from The OF Tape, Vol. 2, Tyler, under the alias Wolf Haley, gets more ambitious, directing his war film and recreating the jungles of Vietnam.
With Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis and Trash Talk's Lee Spielman in the roles of U.S. soldiers, the troop come across Tyler, who is interrogated and shot by, uh, a general also played by Tyler, who shoots other people also played by Tyler. Yeah, it's not as confusing as it sounds. Watch the video above and all will be revealed.
