How Can We Find Depth in Shorts

Great video! I’m going to film school soon and I can definitely feel these changing tides. I’m excited to experiment with short form, I just hope there remains a place for serious, adult stories that aren’t memes/superheroes.

My jaw dropped when I saw that you had less than 200 subscribers. This is genuinely one of the best video essays I've seen in a long time, and it hit on lots of things I've personally been thinking about (transcendental filmmaking and short form content). You helped me understand transcendental filmmaking better and name things I've been feeling, and it is very clear that this was well researched with plenty thoughtful material to illustrate your points. I can tell your channel is going to do well, because this was an amazing essay, and I look forward to following you for more! You just got one more subscriber!

Really enjoyed this. It's really thought provoking.

lovely video, especially the part on slow cinema, which is such an attractive formal mode/style to someone living now in the 2020s.

amazing video! blessings!

Great intro! Subscribed (:

Amazing video! Saved it going to revisit it again and again 🙌

Love it, I added it to my "Cinema must know" playlist

Nice video! Your channel is super underrated

This was wonderful; I’m surprised you have under 200 subscribers, while watching it felt like you were a high production, bigger channel I see massive growth coming your way! Excellent work

great video essay🤍

tthis was a greatt watch!

This is very well done thank you for making this. I just subscribed. This channel is about to📈 keep at it

Brilliant video mate! Very important for this metamodern age to fully Embrace social media storytelling. But I loooved the slow cinema section. Some movies there I haven’t seen! And I didn’t know that’s what Paul Shrader was all about. Have you watched The Curse yet??!! Omg. Greetings from Australia. Make more slow cinema videos!!

One of the best film videos I’ve on youtube for a long time!

Great

Great video!

While not entirely a transcendental film, I really enjoy La Haine. Have you seen that movie? What are your thoughts

Fantastic essay and thesis on different forms of storytelling! I’m not entirely sure I think the piece lands on a coherence of it point on how these elements blend into the new medium… but in some ways that is the point, and I absolutely feel we are on the verge of a new medium being born that incorporates cinema with content. I think someone like a Megan Tan or the myriad of young content creators (mostly women exploding in popularity even though there are other genders developing this style) are starting to scratch the surface. Personally I think they are still blogging “cinematically” and this is still a precursor to what is to come. Anyway great videos and would be interested in hearing your take on the new way of cinematic bloggers.
