HUNT VI || Short Film

Deux North, the cycling label founded by Dylan Nord and James Nord, just released a superb short film about a group of cyclists attempting to ride the equivalent elevation of Mt. Everest (29,000ft) on their bikes in one ride. 
You'll feel inspired (and a little lazy) by the time the credits roll.

Fever Island || Short Film

Surf film studio Vacation Club has just released this great looking short film titled Fever Island with pro surfer Patrick Gudauskas. 

 Shot in the Caribbean, the film begins with some retro opening titles and then comes to life with a funky bongo heavy soundtrack courtesy of Ikebe Shakedown’s "Tujunga". It creates a real relaxed and playful vibe for the short, which is shot and edited absolutely beautifully. Watch and enjoy it below!

Strange Beasts || Short Film

Strange Beasts is a short sci-fi film directed by London filmmaker Magali Barbé which is currently featured as a "Staff Picks" over on Vimeo. The near-future tale takes place over just five-minutes, but it’s as powerful and unsettling as any recent Black Mirror episode. 

 During the film, a games developer called Victor explains that "Strange Beasts" is an augmented reality game which allows you to create, grow and customise your own virtual pet. Everything seems harmless and innocent enough as he demonstrates the game and introduces us to his daughter and her virtual pet, but then the film reveals a disturbing twist. Watch below!

Sold Out || The Underground Economy of Supreme Resellers' || Full Length

In 1994, James Jebbia opened the first Supreme location in a small storefront on Lafayette Street in New York. At the time, Supreme was a brand for skaters by skaters—even the design for the shop was more open so skaters could come right in with their skateboards. But today, 21 years later, Supreme is a legendary streetwear brand that’s cultivated a cult following well beyond that original fan base. 

Continuing to release product in tightly controlled, limited amounts, the brand is as big as it wants to be in New York, Los Angeles, and London; a titan in Japan—arguably its largest market. Complex has covered Supreme for well over a decade (Complex was founded in 2002). In Lafayette Street shop in-store launches every story was the same:

 Lines snaked around the block, kids camped out for hours or days, sometimes even in subfreezing temperatures, just to get any Supreme item. Each Thursday drop was chaos. In April 2014, the NYPD canceled the Supreme x Nike Air Foamposite One in-store launch at the NYC flagship after a riot nearly broke out earlier that day. But there was something much bigger here. Complex News team learned that many were in line to purchase gear that they’d later flip online for big profits, selling apparel and other items for as much as 1,200 percent above retail value. 

 “We started to get to know these people and realized there was a business here and real money to be made,” explains Emily Oberg, Complex Editorial Producer and one of the directors of this documentary. While the reselling market is hardly new, and people have been selling Supreme online for years, it’s yet to be the focus of serious investigation—until now.
