    Insane is an understatement. It took me 12 months just to WRITE a feature length film, and that’s for something that hasn’t even been produced yet. Hell could you edit a feature in a month? I think just barely, but that’s assuming all the footage is shot and everything else is ready to go. What you’re proposing is to write, cast, storyboard/block, shoot, score, edit and master a feature in a single month, for 12 months. Godspeed sir, please don’t die!

      you should definitely check out his other films, especially drowning in potential and we need to leave here together, they were both completely shot in one day and edited in the weeks afterwards. Joel has an insane talent for making simple yet immensely moving films on a shoestring budget, in my opinion he's the best filmmaker of our time.

    We leave here together literally changed my relationship. I mean that will all the love in my heart because it really opened my eyes to things. I felt alone in how I felt in my relationship and it made me feel awful. I saw the film and it was exactly how I felt. I never thought a UA-cam film could make me sob my eyes out in my living room. It gave me courage to speak up instead of just shutting it away and things got a lot better. Thank you so much for what you do and I can’t wait to see more of these films. 💕

Your animations and all those simulations and sliders where you just see what happened and then you explain why things turned out that way, it's just delectable, really feels like you're a science teacher giving us the stimulus and revealing how it works.

    I opened this video half expecting a joke/reference to the other youtuber that quitted recently, and half afraid that you would quit youtube completely. I've always enjoyed your videos, mainly the comedies, music videos and animations, it brought some joy into my life during the quarantine and after.
    I'm glad that you've decided to take on new challenges, and wish you the best in these 12 new films. I usually watched the shorter videos, but I will definitely watch the movies you'll make this year, it will be a monthly movie night.

      I wouldn't want to see Joel go either, but if he did...it wouldn't be the worst youtuber quitting as Joel has SO SO much content already. Check out his earliest videos that are still very high quality and have under 1000 views. This AND the playlist called "Collabs with cool people" that has hundreds of videos of Joel with his friends

I’m no film maker, hell, not even a particularly creative type, but your obvious passion for what you do, your sense of adventure and ambition, and ultimately, a resounding sense of contentment and love inspire me so much. I hope to live life as fully as you do, and I’m working at it each day. So thank you for the laughs, the reflections, and the sense of hope you’ve been providing me for these past couple years.

      “Please don’t turnout to be a murderer” You may need to sit down with a glass of water and maybe a favorite plushie (we’ve all got at least one. No shame.) WatchJoel’s visits to Sven Johnson, Scott Cramer and Jesus Christ himself. Videos were made 2 years ago I think as he drove his VAN on his way to live in California. I know I’m forgetting the name of another person he visited, the very first, but I’m sure someone will provide that info. God Speed.

It's a levelling up, a natural evolution of your craft, and though change is by its nature scary, if it's staying true to yourself, then it's also exciting and inevitably set to push your artistic boundaries to new heights. Love ya, bro... You got this. Happy new year, everybody... Much love to you all, and just like Joel, whatever you are moved to aim for this year... You all absolutely got this.
