After much anticipation Drake has finally premiered his short film “Please Forgive Me” exclusively on Apple Music.
Drake first announced the film on Instagram early in the summer in a now deleted post on his social media pages. The movie was initially set for a September 30 release date but the seems Drizzy and his team couldn’t wait and just released it on Monday, September 26 at 1 AM.
Seems the Toronto rapper is making it a habit to release a short film every year. Perhaps he is cuing himself for a major big screen transition.
The 21-minute film was directed by Anthony Mandler, who also directed Drake’s music videos “Fancy,” “Miss Mee,” and “Over.” Larry Jackson is the producer behind the clip. The short film also saw Drake is a starring role mostly shot in Soweto township in Johannesburg, South Africa earlier this year when Drake was visiting that country for a concert and to shoot his “One Dance” music video. The movie was film in a single week and saw cameos from members of Drake’s OVO crew including Noah “40” Shebib and dancehall star Popcaan who kicked off the party in the beginning.
