“These people are my family.” The rapper Logic has directed a new film titled Paradise Records, and it’s premiering at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival this summer. To build some early buzz, Logic released this first official trailer for the comedy – about a guy trying to save his shop. He states: “Since I was a child I wanted to make a movie and I’m excited for you all to see what I’ve written and directed!” A record store owner and his eccentric staff fight to save their beloved store from closing. “This hilarious debut film from multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated musician Logic, executive produced by Kevin Smith, is a spiritual successor to films like Barbershop, Friday After Next, Empire Records, and of course, Clerks. Logic pulls double duty, also starring as the endearing Cooper, in what proves to be a rowdy good time of a watch.” Starring Logic, Tramayne Hudson, Reed Northrup, & Mary Elizabeth Kelly, along with a ton of cameos. This looks surprisingly good! Actually funny jokes and clever humor, along with a legit Clerks vibe. I’m down to watch.
Here’s the festival promo trailer for Logic’s comedy movie Paradise Records, direct from YouTube:
Cooper (Logic), a well-meaning record store owner, is trying to keep the doors of Paradise Records open. He’s facing foreclosure, the bank won’t give him a loan, someone keeps offering to buy the property — and then a robbery. He’s not having a great day. Thankfully he’s got a motley crew of entertaining employees and a lot of weed to help him figure out how to get himself out of this big mess. Paradise Records is written and directed by American rapper / writer / producer / filmmaker “Logic”, originally known as Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, making his directorial debut after appearing as an actor in many music videos and working as a composer on video games, in addition to his rap career. It’s produced by Liz Destro, Logic, and Jordan Monsanto. The film is premiering at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival this summer, playing in the Spotlight Narrative section. No final release date is set yet – stay tuned for updates. First impression? Look any good?
