Adam Sandlerhas teamed up once again with brothers Josh and Benny Safdie, the directors behind his recent his filmUncut Gems, for a new six-minute short film titledGoldman v Silverman.
Like the suspenseful, anxiety-inducing drama, the short takes place in New York City, but this time, it’s about a pair of monochromatic spray-painted street performers in Times Square.
Admitting defeat, Silverman leaves, but ultimately Goldman doesn’t seem satisfied as he later questions his behavior while removing his makeup in a public bathroom.

The Safdie brothers released the short on Thursday, sharing a link to the film on their Twitter page.
“Sandler v. Benny as street performers aka. GOLDMAN v SILVERMAN a new short film we threw together. Enjoy,” they wrote, adding in another Tweet that they’re working onsetting up some screenings.
“Working on showing this in theaters that are showing @uncutgems on 35mm, on 35 as a post show,” they wrote, noting that the short will be featured at theMetrograph theater in New York Cityover the weekend.
AlthoughUncut Gemsgenerated plenty of Oscars buzz for the comedian, 53, this week Sandler wasleft out of the Best Actor category.
In hisreaction to the snub, Sandler noted that there was a plus side to not making the list.
“Bad news: Sandman gets no love from the Academy. Good news: Sandman can stop wearing suits,” hewroteon Twitter, before giving a sweet shout out to his former onscreen mom,Kathy Bates, who did receive a nod for her role in the controversial dramaRichard Jewell.
“Congrats to all my friends who got nominated, especially Mama,” he wrote on Twitter, referencing his 1998 football comedyThe Waterboy.
While awards buzz is nice, Sandler previously shared that he made the film because he just wanted to participate in the unique project.
“I try not to jump into that thought process just becausethat really wasn’t the goal,” he told reporters at the film’s premiere in October. “My goal was these guys wrote a great movie and they’re incredible filmmakers and I just wanted to do as good of a job as I could for them.”
