Innovative Meta Promotion by Timothée Chalamet
In an unexpected twist, Chalamet has decided to infuse humor into the promotional activities for “Marty Supreme.” He has created a meta promotional video that pokes fun at the typical movie marketing culture.
Behind the Scenes of the Promotion
Recently, Chalamet uploaded an 18-minute skit on social media featuring a hilariously crafted Zoom meeting with A24 employees. This clever satire critiques both corporate culture and the ego often found among movie stars. In this skit, Chalamet shares outlandish ideas to advertise “Marty Supreme,” making for a memorable comedic experience.

Throughout the video, Chalamet maintains a straight face while presenting absurd concepts, like showcasing a child’s drawing he claims took six months to create. His serious demeanor contrasts sharply with the outrageousness of his ideas, heightening the humor.
Reception and Response
The reactions from A24 participants are equally entertaining. They deliver quick-witted lines while attempting to keep a straight face, providing a dynamic counterbalance to Chalamet’s antics. Noteworthy is the two-minute mark, where the participants struggle not to react as Chalamet enthusiastically exclaims “schwap!” to emphasize his points.
As “Marty Supreme” approaches its release, it will be exciting to see what other creative ideas Chalamet will unveil. His approach to the film’s marketing not only showcases his talents but also redefines traditional promotional strategies.
