Years after a three-minute teaser hit the Internet in 2004, the short film “Ecology of Love” is finally available. The 17-and-a-half-minute project stars Pharrell as Andre, a heartbroken actor who finds himself stranded in the desert when he hits the road to figure out his next more. He stars opposite Dania Ramirez, whose character he attempts to woo. The film is shot in the style of French New Wave, which is known for sweeping tracking shots and existential subject matter.
Pharrell’s other acting credits include a cameo in 2010’s Get Him to the Greek, and a starring role in the Yi Zhou short The Greatness. Watch the full short here.
