Timelines – A Short Film About Sexism

Timelines is a short film that looks into the societal pressure that women face in America and Asia.

Despite coming a long way over the past few decades, some negative attitudes and expectations are still being put on women in 2019.

A Robot’s Nine To Five

Cinemark shows us what a robot’s daily 9-5 looks like in this funny new ad. In it, we follow an automaton as he carries out his boring day-to-day tasks.

We’ve all been in a job where everything feels a bit too routine. As we carry out the same tasks every day, it can all feel a bit robotic. We can start to feel just like a machine, repeating the same things over and over again. In this ad, we see someone who has become so bored with their job that they’ve actually turned into a robot.

Tom Cruise is back on screen for the reboot of the Top Gun movie franchise. Time to go back to the danger zone…

It’s A Chelsea (FC) Thing

Nike takes us on a tour of London’s richest borough for the kit launch promo for the soccer team Chelsea FC.

Comedian Omid Djalili walks us through the sights and sounds of Chelsea. He takes us for a stroll along the famous King’s Road and tells us just what it means to be a Chelsea native. He tells us it’s about style, success and swagger. Omid also tells us about the borough’s thriving music scene. He reminds us of some classic 60s bands that are from here as well a few modern artists too.

Ed Sheeran x Travis Scott – Antisocial

Ed Sheeran and rapper Travis Scott team up for their new track Antisocial. Ed’s been releasing some really cool music vids recently and this one has to be one of the best he’s done in a while.

This music video is a really wild ride. We’re taken around lots of odd and interesting places. Ed transforms himself into a different quirky character each time we move as well. Quite what the message of the music vid is isn’t really all that clear, but it’s definitely entertaining to watch. The single is from Ed’s latest album, No.6 Collaborations Project, which came out recently.
