Overview

  • The 19 short films went live Wednesday on Drake’s Drake Related website as fresh interpretations of the single.
  • The open call launched in May offered $15,000 to each selected finalist to produce a 30‑ to 60‑second clip.
  • Drake’s team describes the shorts as micro‑videos intended to function as pitches for fully formed visuals.
  • Coverage notes a discrepancy, with 20 winners listed in June but 19 videos published as of the latest rollout.
  • The creators span varied styles, including Jordan Sook’s puppet concept, Dito Andres’ animated piece, and Edgar Daniel’s casting‑call approach.
