just a random who found this video in his recommended feed here, but watching this has been such a strange experience. on one hand, this is my first exposure to this channel so i don’t have any emotional connection but i feel compelled to feel happy for you all. on the other hand, i’m an aspiring indie filmmaker myself (emphasis on indie and aspiring) and have been looking at film festivals as generally a bad idea compared to self publishing on a site like youtube. basically, what im saying is you guys are making me feel all warm and fuzzy and oddly proud of strangers i’ve never met for the hard work you’ve done but your actively dismantling my understanding about the industry. im sure your extremely busy with the documentary about making human resources (gonna watch after this) and other projects but if theres any way i could pick someone on this teams brain about the film festival experience i would be absolutely honored.

Soooo glad to hear, welcome to the channel!!! Thank you for the kind words
Man, this is so inspiring. Over an hour of well documented and extremely well edited BTS of how you pulled off a feature film before 20? Wild. Keep making videos, KZread needs more of this type of content. Your editing style is super engaging and somehow always feels personal and honest. Would love to see more into your experience working in film. Congrats on the movie too, what an accomplishment. P.S, still can't believe you filmed during business hours, run and gun filmmaking at its finest.

LOVE FROM SWITZERLAND HAS BEEN RECEIVED!!! Thanks for watching and so glad you found the video!!!!!!!
It's crucial to know that the important festivals want premieres! So send your movie first to the international A-Festivals (worldwide) or at least festivals with coverage from industry professionals and press! If that is not working out, send the film next year to the very little / amateurish festivals.
Loved this video bro, your a great content creator. Gonna have to go watch the movie now!

Amazing to hear your story!
STOP EVERYTHING BRADEN HAS UPLOADED A VIDEO! As expected, this was INCREDIBLE. Our highlights: the boat animation at the beginning, the match cuts at 2:21, so many emotions at the movie premiere... just ALL of the effects and the entire video! This is just such a good story and you all did an amazing job 🥲

All I can say is life is different for white filmmakers with a little money. This is a great story and I am glad for you all congratulations, I know how much work you all put into this, but this is not an example it is an exception.
