Amazing, small world!

That was a long time ago! I've lived through many failed macaronis since.

Hope all is well! :)

Wow! I wasn't under the impression I had fans!

That's actually a very good question that I wish I had a good answer to. By all means I prefer YouTube as a platform, it feels less exclusive than Vimeo and also you don't have to pay which is always a big plus. For my first few features I told myself it was because of YouTube's rights policy. They essentially get and retain the same rights you have over whatever you upload and Vimeo doesn't, but at the end of the day what's Google going to do with my free no budget movies?

For the time being I tell myself it's to differentiate my content, the same audience that'll watch a goofy short might not be in for a strange personal feature. Maybe soon I'll dump all four of my features onto my channel, we'll see!

As you can tell this is something I've mulled over quite a bit, haha

Much love!

I might just be crazy! Glad you enjoy him, he gave a wonderful performance!

There are many answers to that question, and some lie somewhere in the movie! But one answer I like to give is that it is the anti-Cast Away. I made this movie at a very lonely time in my life. When a big Hollywood movie like Cast Away tries to tell the story of a lonely struggle, it feels thematically disingenuous. We know very well that Tom Hanks had personal assistants, a trailer and a big paycheck, the struggle is manufactured. As a filmmaker, I believe that in order to make a truthful movie the product should be synchronous with the process. I took that line of thought to a logical extreme and decided to make a movie about loneliness from a lonely place in a very lonely way.

If you wind up finishing the film I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Yeah, it's a little fishy, also had my channel terminated once for no reason and had to jump through hoops to get it fixed. At the very least, the fact that I do pay for Vimeo offers me the comfort of knowing I'm a paying customer so I'm not so easily expendable.

I do! Here it is! https://www.patreon.com/joelhaver

I just added some fun reward tiers where people can name characters and submit dialogue that'll have to be used in an upcoming short! Am gonna make an announcement video for them once my channel grows a little more!

Who else could play Chris R better than Chris R himself?
