Director Blythe Thomas shows why Diplo may be a great producer but should never be let near a kitchen, in the cinematic promo for Heartbroken, featuring Jessie Murph & Polo G. In a neon-lit diner, we see Murph sit down in a booth having a heart to heart with a boy, as Polo G performs across the room. Diplo runs around the kitchen, embodying his role as a chef, until the whole thing quite literally goes up in flames. But the couple remain in the booth, unaware of the danger around them, finally working past their issues. There are probably a hundred better places to have such a conversation, especially given the firey circumstances, but it's a heartfelt concept with great performances and a captivating aesthetic - what more could you ask for?
