David Bowie was as much of an enigma in life as he is in death. The legendary rock star released his final album Blackstar two days before his death, and fans and critics have been trying to decode it ever since. 

But before he died, Bowie gave three filmmakers full license to interpret Blackstar for themselves, and to use his music however they wished -- on Instagram. 

The result is a video project called Unbound, produced by InstaMiniSeries. The first episode debuted last night.

Today, two of Unbound's producers, Carolynn Cecilia and Lawrence Peryer, join Shad to discuss the project, and how they broke their vision down into 15 second instalments.
