This pro-vegetarian campaign video stars Richard Linklater, the director of Boyhood and, perhaps more appropriately, Fast Food Nation. I assume he wrote and directed this clip too; whoever did made space for some nice nods to Nintendo and Back to the Future.It's particularly amusing to see Linklater stuff-up the period set dressing on purpose when he's already shown an interest in detailed recreations of bygone eras, most noticeably with the hazy, nostalgic 1970s of Dazed and Confused. His next picture, That's What I'm Talking About, will be a period piece too, though there's not much else known about it at all. That was not the first time Linklater and Peta have worked together. This video from 2012 is altogether more serious in tone - though both are pretty serious in message.Linklater can next be seen at The Oscars on Sunday, almost certainly picking up some kind of prize for Boyhood. I'll now be expecting some kind of shout out to the animals.
