Director Ben Dawkins has created an excellent short film called Dealer, and it uses Burial‘s track “Rival Dealer” as it’s inspiration and soundtrack. Taken from Burial’s 2013 EP of the same name, out now on Hyperdub, the film frames the opening ten minute track into a gritty tale about that guy who you can call at all hours of the night. Dealer goes behind the scenes showing the human side of the equation, as our protagonist leaves his girlfriend and baby to go to “work” late one evening, and from brutal mafia bosses, to annoying socialites, junkies, and club trash, we meet all the players on this unfortunate night!
