Before he died, David Bowie granted InstaMiniSeries, which creates episodic programs in the form of Instagram videos, early access to his swan song ? (Blackstar). Taking Bowie’s songs as inspiration, InstaMiniSeries developed UNBOUND: A ? InstaMiniSeries, designed to be a visual interpretation of the music. According to a press release, “UNBOUND: A ? InstaMiniSeries takes its audience on a journey of evocative images inspired by the moods suggested in the album’s music, lyrics and artwork. The series is propelled by a focus on this visual interpretation of the ? album as opposed to a literal, linear narrative.” Produced, written, and directed by Nikki Borges and Carolynn Cecilia, the series will have 16 episodes in total, with new episodes arriving every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The first episode, which stars Borges, Rookie Magazine founder Tavi Gevinson, and actress Patricia Clarkson, among others, premiered today; watch it below.
