SYML's hauting cover of MR Sandman featured in short film TIM
SYML’s brooding fan favorite cover of “Mr. Sandman” has been used in new short film TIM (out now). The film was written & directed by commercial filmmaker John Grammatico and produced by Shinebox. With support from his team at Little Saint Media, John helms spots for brands such as AT&T, McDonald's, M&Ms and Ford. He's worked with celebrities like Meghan Markle and Anna Faris and his breast cancer PSA, Your Man Reminder won a Webby Award and first place at TED's Ideas Worth Spreading, garnering almost 8 million hits on YouTube.
When asked about the inspiration for his short, Grammatico said, "As a father, it's an interesting thing to step into your child's school environment. I guess I forgot what a complex world that can be. It's hard not to notice how some kids make choices to stand out while others just try to disappear. With TIM, I wanted characters from each end of that spectrum to confront each other. To make a connection. But I wanted to do it in a way that shows empathy for both.
TIM is a story for anyone who’s ever felt invisible. No matter our status in school or life, we've all felt that way at some point. So, I like to think that we all can relate to TIM."
Following a North American and European tour in support of his debut self-titled album, SYML is staying on the road through the end of the year.
