Watch Shia LaBeouf Rant In Front Of A Green Screen For 30 Minutes Because Art
"JUST DO IT," he screams while angrily pointing at his groin.
Shia LaBeouf has proven time and time again that he has less than zero fucks to give about what people think of him. Whether it be through endorsing a video that depicts him as a cabin-dwelling cannibal, or appearing in the fourth Indiana Jones movie; LeBeouf doesn’t shy away from working on projects that appeal to himself rather than a wider audience.
Recently, this attitude has manifested itself in a collaboration between LeBeouf and some British fine arts students to create a half-hour collection of short films. It’s exactly what you’d imagine, if you spend your time imaging what form a series of 30-second monologues by Shia LeBeouf working with fine arts students would look like.
Titled #INTRODUCTIONS — yes, the hashtag is included — the films feature minimal props and no costume changes, and a new director takes the helm every 30 seconds. The effect is strangely hypnotic and surprisingly watchable. It also means that some of LaBeouf’s recent Tweets make a lot more sense.

Beginning of work number two by Elenor Hellis, performed entirely through a motorcycle helmet.

Literally the entire script for work number eight by Sam Walkden.
Joe Moss was Shia LaBeouf before Shia LaBeouf was Joe Moss

Number 31 by Joseph Moss is pretty Joseph Moss-centric.
My personal highlights include work number 13 by Joshua Parker which is LaBeouf ANGRILY MOTIVATING YOU TO LIVE YOUR DREAMS by shouting “JUST DO IT”, work nine by Christian Wright which is essentially an infomercial for being a properly-attired “Proud Samurai Warrior” and work 36 by Alice Jacobs which is literally three minutes of the back of LaBeouf’s head as he chants “ohmmmm”.
Enjoy!
