No joke, or exaggeration, you are my favorite film maker, you legit made my favorite movie in the world when you made We Have to Leave Here Together, but everything you do, feature or short, has been a delight for me and I'm so thankful for your approach to filmmaking.
Your movies feel so real, which is something that big production movies just cannot capture. The fact that the filming, the story and the acting are not perfect makes it feel more close, human, real and personal. Thank you
Came here to comment on this too. Most of the self-references in the movie aren't call backs, they're call forwards. It's mindboggling that these were crafted in the making. Such a clever film.
I’ve seen all your movies and watched this last one twice. I imagine the filming was so much fun. The editing/uploading sounds like a drag, but I appreciate the immense effort that goes into your productions. I’m always blown away by your way of filming. The long single takes. Beautiful and impressive shots. Hannah and Patrick were dynamite. Just incredible. This last one felt polished enough for the big screen.
Patrick Quinn is one of my favourite painters ever his stuff really inspires me ,so it was very surreal seeing his paintings in the movie and then realising the main guy is actually him. Who would have known he’s also a great actor!
And now thanks to this comment I'm learning that he's actually a painter and wasn't just acting, Joel has a knack for finding some really talented people. Wasn't as surprised to see him in a leading role this year since he's been in a lot of shorts over the years and always killed it, if this is news you should definitely go dig through Joel's backlog since it's basically solid gold from start to finish.
Haven’t started this yet but I know it will be treat like every movie you’ve made this year. Being able to donate to help you do this is actually an honor. Keep up the amazing work Joel you’re an inspiration and an unparalleled artist.
Honestly such a beautiful film on many levels. I'm making a cinematography course for 3D artists at the moment, and the visual style really got me. Making a film like that with such a small team is insanely impressive, making twelve in a year is impressively insane.
As far as my double feature today with Hiccups and Megalopolis, it was definitely the one I preferred. It's so crazy that a film from youtube can rival francis ford coppola
the cinematography and editing and acting and everything just blew me away. I haven't watched all your films from this year yet, but this and "It Just Takes Time" both completely floored me. you're a superhero
Joel that was absolutely great. Such a well done movie. It has pushed me over the edge to start making my own movie on my old sony VX 2100 camera. Thank you for everything
I love your description @1:43 I feel like that's what we all really yearn for in our relationships -- it's that comfortability and vulnerability that you can't get with just anyone. Was a really fun movie to watch, kept me watching, shot awesomely and I've already shared it with a few friends too!
I genuinely did not think that I could approach film in the unique way that you do until you started this project. I have wanted to get into film for so long, and I always assumed it had to be the big Hollywood productions with all the staffing and scripting and everything. You've inspired me to pick up a camera and just start making my movie.
Joel. You are so inspirational. I recently "accidently" shot my first film following my journey of creating a music software company. Originally thought it would be a 10-minute video, but quickly blossomed into a 45-minute series cataloguing my growth as a performer, editor, and story-teller. The filming process reveled how difficult it is to "act naturally", which is one of your strengths. Do you have any suggestions for people like myself that struggle with this part of film-making?
I’ve already watched it, there’s so much more I could say, but the shot of the three sets of them in the fog (if ya know ya know, no spoilers) is instantly iconic. I’m going to be thinking about that for a very long time
Loved the movie! + I was pleasantly surprised to see your film with Deokumar, it was strange and wonderful! still trying to figure out the meaning of that toaster… You’re a machine for finding the time to work on that dude!
Last night I watched Cody Clarke's A Standup Showcase at the Laugh Zone premiere and Joel's standup part echoed this movie. There are also many actors in this movie that did standup in it. It was hilarious and prepared me for Hiccups the next day. It just might be my absolute favorite movie now. Time to watch it again.
Glad you are doing these movies, probably will watch this new one tonight. Keep up the great work and thank you for inspiring myself and many other film makers.
I could definitely see the romcom influences in this film! It's incredibly impressive how you manage to improv the story while also having callbacks to other scenes and threads that follow through the whole thing- especially with how intertwined all the present-past-backstory was in this film!
This is very inspiring to me as someone in their mid 30s who went to film school but could never afford to move to LA or intern or take a month or two off for a film, I feel like my life has been on pause for the last 10 years. I see that Cassavetes poster and I'm a fan too, it sounds like you describe a similar approach to filmmaking as him on this one. I have no resources or any friends that want to make films with me so I'm learning 3D animation and I'm going to brute force it myself in 400 square foot apartment.
@@HeadbutKneecap i recall him saying that they come up with the basic flow of the story, nothing concrete, and then fill in the gaps with improvisation. you can also see the entire process of how he makes films in his oscars livestreams
Hey Joel, my fiance and I got halfway through the movie before we had to leave cuz we were looking at a cat we're going to adopt, but I'm just about to get back from buying groceries and I think we're going to finish the other half of the movie, very excited
Joel your films have this familiarity and relatability that I love. This one was no different. I found myself shedding some tears at the end of it. Thank you for being you Joel!
Maybe in 2025 after you’ve had a nap for a couple months you can do a director’s cut? Maybe? Perchance? Love what you’re doing this year Joel! Very excited for 6 more!
this film has absolutely been my favorite of yours, i feel like it's all your best attributes in filmmaking coming together. and what a style it has! i love how prevalent your filmmaking "voice" was in this movie.
Also, I hope you'll bring back budget breakdowns, even if after the next tax day, because I love seeing a larger breakdown of what's going on in the films. It's a real treat!
Speaking of direct artist-to-audience, AND compression etc. would you ever provide a way to download the HD versions to watch offline? I know you want to keep your films 100% accessible and keep away from the scummy filmmaking practices, but I would love to pay 3-5 bucks to watch these without UA-cam's added compression. Maybe there's something I'm missing.
You're always able to make movies that touch incredibly specific things in ordinary interactions. No one else does that, Joel. That's why your movies are this good.
Hey Joel, you spoke of a longer version. Do you think you'd ever do a "Director's cut" version of any of your movies? Considering that you don't really have anything confining you to have to make your movies a certain length, I'd guess that you choose to cut them down a bit as a personal choice. So you'd probably not be interested in releasing longer versions, would you? Just curious, since you have a very interesting philosophy on movie making.
Hey Joel! Not sure if you'll see this. I heavily recommend the recently released film Look Back, based on the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto. It has limited showings in the US and I doubt if any more will even pop up after today, but if you ever get the chance, I heavily recommend it. Wonderful film about the nature of art that I think will resonate with you.
would you ever consider doing a physical release of any of the 12 films from this year? (i know its not really connected to this video but i do want to know)
Interested in your thoughts on Éric Rhomer's work in the romantic comedy genre. He really works the simplicity of the genre beautifully into high art. Highly recommend. His "comedy and proverb" series of films from the 80s are delightfully poignant and (mostly) hilarious
It's a wonderful romcom film! Thanks so much for everything you do Joel! I watched it today! (Also...Did I have to support before you started to get listed on the film? I have supported since May, but my name isn't there on any of the films. I know you have better things to do..But thought I'd ask.
Thanks so much Andy!! Sometimes names get lost in the sauce, but this is technically the June movie so I’m still catching up with the credits as well. I’ll make sure everything is up to date for the next one!
Hiccups is the first one of your movies that didn't immediately fill me with a sense of impending dread. It came later but, this one was definitely the least dreadful.
Annie Hall and 500 days are both neat. They're good movies. But When Harry Met Sally is legit one of my top ten, and I'm stoked it got a mention here :)
You might not have interest in making these which is all good but if we got to see budget/gear breakdown videos again that would be so amazing. I can imagine them getting a lot to keep track of with the rising scale tho
😮 How did you manage to do the bridge shot and the one where bill prevents himself to get a poem. I mean, i get split shots with a stationary camera. But there were people walking past in the BG. Did you cut the images frame by frame? That's insane(ly cool)! Also were joe rolls up her yoga matt while both of them are watching in the front
Joel if you’re reading this comment I just got done watching Any One Else But Me and I absolutely love and adore the way that film looks. So what cameras do you recommend for beginners that are good quality cameras? And what kind of camera do you use in that film. The highest price for me is 500 bones.

Thats such an honor, thank you so much for engaging with my work❤️
becoming THE favorite filmmaker of someone is a a massive accomplishment as well
eat it scorcese! see ya, spielberg! sayonara kurosawa!
Mine too ❤
He’s a treasure
It was a pleasure to be a part of this wonderful film. I think it will go down as one of your very best!
Woo, go Joel!
Gotta finish strong, you don’t want your legacy to be as the guy who only made ELEVEN movies in 12 months like a total jackass
He could be America's Takashi Miike. Output wise, not... that way.
I hope you release these movies physically at the end of it all. They deserve to exist beyond UA-cam
Your movies feel so real, which is something that big production movies just cannot capture. The fact that the filming, the story and the acting are not perfect makes it feel more close, human, real and personal. Thank you
HOLY SHIT I didn't realize the movie was improvised. Absolutely insane.
I was surprised to hear this was still improvised! It was incredible how the story went back and forth between points in time.
Came here to comment on this too. Most of the self-references in the movie aren't call backs, they're call forwards.
It's mindboggling that these were crafted in the making. Such a clever film.

Two things Joel loves; making movies, and wearing tiny shorts.
Patrick Quinn is one of my favourite painters ever his stuff really inspires me ,so it was very surreal seeing his paintings in the movie and then realising the main guy is actually him.
Who would have known he’s also a great actor!

@@TheSquareOnes interesting…will do 🙏
Fall always makes me crave a kind of nostalgic romance and Hiccups scatched that itch completely. Also I loved all of Hannah Monsour's outfits.
i absolutely LOVED Hiccups. The tone was frank and sincere, and the dynamic of the main characters felt so natural.
Haven’t started this yet but I know it will be treat like every movie you’ve made this year. Being able to donate to help you do this is actually an honor. Keep up the amazing work Joel you’re an inspiration and an unparalleled artist.

about to watch the movie joel! the movies this year have been such a treat, each one is so special!
As far as my double feature today with Hiccups and Megalopolis, it was definitely the one I preferred. It's so crazy that a film from youtube can rival francis ford coppola
And mine only cost 2/5 as much as his!!!
Just did the same thing with the same result
Watched as soon as it dropped. Such a beautiful film Joel, and I love seeing NYC (and Hannah and Annalisa) in one of your films again.
the cinematography and editing and acting and everything just blew me away. I haven't watched all your films from this year yet, but this and "It Just Takes Time" both completely floored me. you're a superhero
Love seeing you create man.
Joel is the second person, after God, to create man. Quite an achievement
Joel that was absolutely great. Such a well done movie. It has pushed me over the edge to start making my own movie on my old sony VX 2100 camera. Thank you for everything
Didn't realize it was improv filmed, that's amazing. Really liked it!
I'm so excited! I can't wait to marathon all 12 movies with my friends at the end of this :D
I love your description @1:43 I feel like that's what we all really yearn for in our relationships -- it's that comfortability and vulnerability that you can't get with just anyone. Was a really fun movie to watch, kept me watching, shot awesomely and I've already shared it with a few friends too!

Things get dark, crushed, and noisy, in Pac-Man, too. And that's a classic.
Loved the movie! + I was pleasantly surprised to see your film with Deokumar, it was strange and wonderful! still trying to figure out the meaning of that toaster…
You’re a machine for finding the time to work on that dude!
new york city is my favourite character in every romcom
Last night I watched Cody Clarke's A Standup Showcase at the Laugh Zone premiere and Joel's standup part echoed this movie. There are also many actors in this movie that did standup in it. It was hilarious and prepared me for Hiccups the next day. It just might be my absolute favorite movie now. Time to watch it again.
Oh heck ya!! So happy you love it Jennifer, hope you’ve been well❤️
@@joeltalksaboutmovies it was much needed comedy in my life for sure, and the chat was lively. NUT!
that last part about improvised filmmaking was really inspiring damn
Glad you are doing these movies, probably will watch this new one tonight. Keep up the great work and thank you for inspiring myself and many other film makers.

Can you talk about what you do know about the story before you start filming? What does preparing to film look like for you other than logistics?
He has a few videos on fimaking. He usually improvises alot of it but I’m not sure whether he wrote these films or not
@@HeadbutKneecap i recall him saying that they come up with the basic flow of the story, nothing concrete, and then fill in the gaps with improvisation. you can also see the entire process of how he makes films in his oscars livestreams
Hey Joel, my fiance and I got halfway through the movie before we had to leave cuz we were looking at a cat we're going to adopt, but I'm just about to get back from buying groceries and I think we're going to finish the other half of the movie, very excited
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ That movie hit hard. I love how you play with time.
Joel your films have this familiarity and relatability that I love. This one was no different. I found myself shedding some tears at the end of it. Thank you for being you Joel!
These have all been amazing Joel, I have never wanted to make a movie so badly
Maybe in 2025 after you’ve had a nap for a couple months you can do a director’s cut? Maybe? Perchance?
Love what you’re doing this year Joel! Very excited for 6 more!
This movie just hit hard one of my favs among the releases.
Loved the movie!
you're inspirational joel. You have such a unique voice too
this film has absolutely been my favorite of yours, i feel like it's all your best attributes in filmmaking coming together. and what a style it has! i love how prevalent your filmmaking "voice" was in this movie.
hi joel!!! keep up the great work
Insaneo style. I swear to god
You inspire me Joel, keep on keepin on.
I'm proud of you. If that matters lol.
Half way there, feels good
Also, I hope you'll bring back budget breakdowns, even if after the next tax day, because I love seeing a larger breakdown of what's going on in the films. It's a real treat!

I second this!
I’m definitely down to look for a way to do this! Also physical releases could be fun to explore next year!
A box set of the 12-features-in-12-months collection would go kinda hard
A box set of all your movies would go even harder
Any physical release would be amazing. The box set especially, I'd love to have Haver next to Hitchcock on my shelf ;)
I LOVE YOU JOEL
Joel, just wanted to let you know that I'd shake your hand to congratulate you even if it's kind of like a wet fish
You're always able to make movies that touch incredibly specific things in ordinary interactions. No one else does that, Joel. That's why your movies are this good.
ah, perfect timing... I just finished it!
Unproblematic Annie Hall. It even has eggs. Amazing movie.
Thank you, Mr. Haver.
Woah! There was a second Joel Haver in the thumbnail!
How did you get such an amazing filmmaker to collaborate with you, Joel?
Dude, I LOVED Hiccups! Easily one of my favorites! Keep it up!
Hey Joel, you spoke of a longer version. Do you think you'd ever do a "Director's cut" version of any of your movies?

The art is done. Here you go.
Joel Haver (2024)
I resonate with that quote.
8:40 #ReleaseTheHaverCut
There are always big studio execs like Joel Haver meddling with the work of artists like Joel Haver. When will the Joel on Joel violence end
A righteous Grom-Con
looking forward to having the time to sit down and watch these movies
congrats! keep going, youre almost there!
Watched it, loved it.
Loved seeing Jeff and the pee-the-bed-guy again
Just a heads up, your main channel banner still says you only have 4 out of 6 movies done
Thank you!! Will update!!
@@joeltalksaboutmovies Of course, hope you have a great day!
New York is goated. This movie's more impressive than any Woody Allen shit I've seen.

This has to be the best film you’ve made so far in my opinion, this should win an Oscar (Hollywood is scared of you)
It's a wonderful romcom film! Thanks so much for everything you do Joel! I watched it today! (Also...Did I have to support before you started to get listed on the film? I have supported since May, but my name isn't there on any of the films. I know you have better things to do..But thought I'd ask.

I also chose to spend this year on one huge project and I am also massively behind. I know the feeling bro but it's all worth it isn't it
Hiccups is the first one of your movies that didn't immediately fill me with a sense of impending dread. It came later but, this one was definitely the least dreadful.
Love you Joel.
This one was special.
Great job. I mean it.
I believe in joel haver
hiccups was beautiful joel
Much love!
Annie Hall and 500 days are both neat. They're good movies. But When Harry Met Sally is legit one of my top ten, and I'm stoked it got a mention here :)
After last month, I cant wait to watch hiccups. I will press pause on my Sunday evening for 2 hours and hope i hear a droodle in the background :D
Not long left in the year, good luck
Would be cool (if the genre of film of film allowed it) that you live streamed at release
2-3 weeks?? That's all?? Wow, you are so talented man.
Fine Joel, I won't sell you a script
You might not have interest in making these which is all good but if we got to see budget/gear breakdown videos again that would be so amazing. I can imagine them getting a lot to keep track of with the rising scale tho
keep it up dude!
I watched the movie yesterday. It was really good Joel 😊
Six movies and a movie (then 5 more)
the goat low key
😮 How did you manage to do the bridge shot and the one where bill prevents himself to get a poem. I mean, i get split shots with a stationary camera. But there were people walking past in the BG.

are you going to release the full file size versions of the film anywhere?
Cant wait till i can get home and settled to watch it. Since its a rom com i might even be able to convince my girlfriend to watch with me this time
how can i audition for a movie?
