Blueberry
Doesn’t it feel like every “comedy” video on YouTube — including many I have directed — are rushed, desperately-paced, mean-spirited and ham-handedly parodying the pop culture reference of the moment? Here’s an antidote: Randall Park (creator of the awesome Channel 101:NY show Dr. Miracles), wrote and starred in this short “Blueberry.”
Ok, yeah, there’s a guy who calls his penis a “vagina.” But it’s hilarious and has characters who are nice to each other. I’m jealous of the nice confident pauses.
It’s FIVE MINUTES people — an eternity in web video, right? Not if it’s a good video.
that was amazingly good.

Nice. Yeah, I see what you mean, Will. The five minutes doesn’t feel so long here at all.

That was great. 5 minutes is an eternity for web videos and that felt so light.
It’s kind of like Blueberry in a way: It’s a web video, it knows it’s a web video, but it wants to be treated as something else. And so, it’s not filmed like a comedy short or acted that way, or paced that way. And it’s better as a result.
