My channel, since my first Barry video, (which has now passed 20 000 views thank you SO MUCH to everyone who watched it), has found a very specific direction where I attempt to illustrate how elements of our reality are reflected in the media I discuss. This isn’t true of EVERY video I make, but its true of quite a few of them. I LOVE doing this. It allowed me to get more ambitious with these essays and I really think that video is where my channel finally found its identity. That video was kind of the bridge to get me from “actually sitcom season good?” to my Everything Everywhere All at Once video, or my more recent Costa Brava, Lebanon video. That said, I do not consume media specifically looking for this.
The reason I fell in love with storytelling was the emotional component, and I want to be able to put that emotional element on display in my videos as well. So, I’m hoping to start a series of smaller videos, where I can discuss projects I LOVE and what they mean to me. For now, I think the series will just be called “I fkn love”. I tried doing this a few months back with a video about Lulu Wang’s the Farewell, but I got a copyright strike before that video even went up. Hopefully it works out this time.
For me, this will be an opportunity to talk about projects I normally would not necessarily get to, while also forcing my audience to become more attached to me. You guys aren’t parasocial enough and I want all 845 of yous to watch every video I put out. I figured this could also be a way to get yous to learn more about me. The first video will be about my favourite movie: Aftersun. It will be out in the next week.

I’ve been away from my channel for a bit and there are a few reasons for this. First, it was my mental health. I had a lot going on in my personal life that I didn’t take too well. I needed to step away from this and focus on myself. Additionally, 2 of my last 3 videos had been taken down by YouTube, and I got a copyright strike for one of them. I was very frustrated with what was going on with the channel and honestly not super satisfied with how the video that did release came out. Nor was I satisfied with what I was working on. When I decided to come back, the Hollywood writers’ strike had started, and I kinda became unsure of how to move forward with the channel. I’m not associated to the studios but these videos, even with how small they are, certainly can play a role in promoting their content. I then decided to work on a bigger piece about David Zaslav, genuine POS and CEO of WBD. A piece I have been thinking of for a while. With everything continuing, it feels like I have to update that script every week. It has become too big a project to put out in a reasonable time. I will continue to work on it in the background but the channel will fade if I solely focus on this.
For these reasons, I am choosing to move forward with essays on international productions. I know many of these will not do as well as my other videos, but I feel wrong making videos about American studio content during these strikes. This gives me a reason to explore more international productions and I hope it will give you one as well. When the people who make these projects are treated fairly, I will happily put out the content you are used to getting from me. I am keeping a large backlog for this time.

while i am trying to build an audience and community, i prioritize my beliefs. one of my beliefs i am most passionate about is workers rights. if, for some reason, you are against the WGA strikes, just unsubscribe.
i love that i have a growing audience here but i dont want an audience that doesnt support writers trying to make living wages.
