Kendrick Lamar has revealed his short film for “We Cry Together” from his latest album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. Previously screened six times at the Laemmle Royal Theater in West Los Angeles in early June, the 6-minute visual features Lamar and actress Taylour Paige.

Directed by Jake Schreier, Dave Free, Adam Newport-Berra and Lamar, the short film was captured in one take with live vocals in March 2020. This makes the performances from the visual distinct from the audio on the recorded version of “We Cry Together.” Since its brief run of theater screenings earlier this summer, “We Cry Together” qualifies for Oscars consideration in the Best Live Action Short Film category, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Upon the release of Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, Paige tweeted quotables from lead single “N95,” which is also the first music video from Lamar’s newest album.
