The Coming End of an Era
Friends, my run as an internet filmmaker is drawing to a close. This isn’t happening immediately, but over the coming months I’ll be transitioning my time and energy elsewhere. I'm telling my biggest fans about this now so you won't be shocked when this day comes.
I've been making online videos for over twenty years. Before there was YouTube, I was hosting sketch comedy videos on my own site. Thanks to having a viral hit in 2010, I stumbled into this being my livelihood.
But for years now, this work has been a hobby masquerading as a career. I’m now a father and spending the majority of my time on work that generates very little income is unsustainable. Up next I’ll be concentrating on commercial video editing and production, perhaps with some original content for established platforms. Hey, I’m open to offers if anyone has them.
This change will take a while to roll out. Here’s my plan.
This is Not a Conspiracy Theory, my 2020 commercial documentary, will be released for free on YouTube. The six episodes will come out bi-weekly, starting shortly.
I’ll finish parts 3 and 4 of Everything is a Remix, which will complete the new version of the series. I’m gonna go out with a bang and make these videos the best ones yet.
After that, I’ll be done with making personal videos. I'll be continuing my intellectual and creative pursuits as a hobby but any content I create will likely be writing, not video. This email newsletter has become one of my favorite platforms, it will continue and I think even get better – so don’t unsubscribe! It’s even possible there will be new videos in this next phase but they'll just be for fun and won't be in the laborious format I'm known for.
Folks, I’m not dead yet. There’s still killer videos to come and I’ll still be doing interesting stuff even after I stop making videos. Stick with me. But there comes a time to let go, and man, I am well past it.
As usual, it’s actually me on the other end of these emails. You can just hit reply and you’re talking to me. I don’t have time to reply to all emails but I do read them.
Take care everybody and talk soon,
Kirby
