David Bowie Blackstar “InstaMiniSeries” to Star Tavi Gevinson and Patricia Clarkson

“InstaMiniSeries” is a new channel creating episodic programs in the form of Instagram videos. Last fall, David Bowie gave the channel early access to his album ★ for a set of visual interpretations of its tracks, titled “UNBOUND: A ★ InstaMiniSeries.” The 16-episode series, which premieres Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern, stars Rookie founder Tavi Gevinson, actor Patricia Clarkson, and others. New episodes will arrive every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Watch a trailer below.

Bowie invited interpretations “with no limits or preconditions,” according to a press release. It continues, “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.”

Producers Nikki Borges and Carolynn Cecilia directed and wrote the series respectively. Lawrence Peryer co-produced.
