Childish Gambino’s Guava Island film will be released on Amazon Prime, and there’s now a short teaser trailer.
This week, it was announced that Guava Island will be premiered at Coachella on 12 April – the same day as Glover’s headline slot at the event. Now, it’s been confirmed that the film will premiere after his set. According to Variety, Guava Island will be screened in a specially constructed theatre, with showings of the film set to continue throughout the duration of the festival. For those who won’t be attending Coachella, Guava Island will be available to watch on Amazon Prime a day later, from 13 April.
