Donald Glover writes 72-page screenplay inspired by Childish Gambino's 'Because The Internet'

Donald Glover, a.k.a. Childish Gambino, is known for his writing on shows such as Community and 30 Rock. Now he shows off his screenplay writing as Childish Gambino with a script inspired by his upcoming album, Because The Internet. Leading up to the its release, he talked about "imaginative rollouts" for the album. Maybe this is one of them.

The script is based on and soundtracked by each of the LP's 19 tracks and is simply titled "Because the Internet." The 72-page script follows a character known as "The Boy" (played by Glover) and explores the human relationship with technology. Each track corresponds to an "act" or "scene" in the script, which can be played directly for his website. A few scenes are supplement with short film clips. A special surprise awaits at page 41, which replaces a song stream with a note announcing "secret track coming soon."
