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!
OK I know this is an old video but I have to know so the "GUNS" in this were a drill of some kind the pump action salt blaster for bugs but what was the last gun?
Oh my god this was incredible! Between enjoying a couple of innocent dates to crying over Joel’s genuine crying in the end highlights the hard work and the attention to detail everyone put into this production. Joel even seemed to be acting a little different when he was “not on camera” and that beautiful 10 minute long take at the end should be STUDIED IN SCHOOLS! Loved all of it and totally inspires me to write!
