I am Joel! I make shorts and features and post them all on this channel!
THE PROMISE: If you make a feature length movie and send it to me, I will watch it.
Making movies is so possible nowadays, all my features cost $0-$500. There are so many systems in place that keep us unambitious and apathetic in the medium, and I hope the promise that a filmmaker will watch and care about your hard work can be a push some may need to create something bigger.
With the massive growth of the channel, this promise has become much harder to fulfill but it still stands. With that in mind, really consider what you send me. Maybe don't send your 5 year old film that you don't need to hear any more feedback on, make something new! Also, no compilations of shorts, that's cheating! It may take me months or years to get to your film because of a massive backlog, thank you for your patience.
The Oscars films are not included in this promise. Otherwise I'd never see another movie again!
I wish more people thought this way. I was once told someone was stealing my introduction sequence at a Novel Festival in North Carolina, and once I saw the footage, It was very obvious me and the guy who created the introduction sequence both happened to be inspired by breaking bad and stranger things for a folksy/retro intro sequence. But it makes you think how much you can really claim an idea is really left to the similarities. And even though these aren't equal, I believe most people shouldn't jump to anger when they hear news like "someone stole your_____" and I love that one of my favorite content creators has such a good mindset for creative media!
“What were you hoping to accomplish by acting like a worm?” “If I’m being real with you, I don’t have the slightest idea.” A man’s brain on flirting, for real.
I like how none of these people are "good" they all have distinct flaws and everything that makes you second guess what you think about someone Except one of them, and we all know which one it was
Jokes aside, this nearly made me cry. Curious George is something I grew up watching and reading. But I did laugh at how he got so curious to the point of uncovering dark secrets. Joel, you’re a genius!
This is drama of the century right here, I laughed the first time watching this, but now I’m in tears the second time around 😢 No joke this got me super emotional, Jack Johnson always gets me
I know you've posted updated on the new movie taking a while, and I just wanted to say you're doing a phenomenal job Joel. Your movies have grown so much over the years. So take the time you need and share those new masterpieces once you've got it well and ready
