The Weeknd x the Dawn FM Experience (2022)

Directed by: Micah Bickham

Cinematography by: Chase Smith

Country: United States

Genre: Music

Plot:

The Weeknd performs his hit 2022 synth-pop record, Dawn FM, in this atmospheric short that's part quasi-concert film (actors instead of an actual audience), part visual album.

Reasons to watch:

Well-versed concert and music video watchers won't find much untread visual material here, and The Weeknd doesn't bring much as a performer, but it's not without some nifty tricks. It's fun, moody, and worth checking out if you enjoy Dawn FM; it seems like solid background entertainment for a party or pregame.
