Hey! Putting finishing touches on the scripts for a review of The Big Sick and part one of (probably) four videos on parasocial relationships. I've wanted to do an essay on parasocial interactions for over a year but struggled to condense dozens (if not hundreds) of academic articles and essays down for one video so I'm splitting it into at least f...

I don't make a lot of these (trying to figure out a way to do more) because it's mostly for outtakes but I don't have a lot of those that are worth watching. Recently though I was in Atlanta at a Baby Driver location and filmed a short video. I posted it to twitter but not publicly to youtube or anywhere else. I could definitely do more of these (j...

Here you go! As always, remember that you can limit your monthly donation amount if you don't want to be charged for every video. If I hit a certain threshold I might switch to monthly donations instead (would just depend on a bunch of factors). Some cool stuff coming up soon!! Thanks for the support!!!
2017-07-19 13:14:46 +0000 UTC View PostGonna get an Okja review out in a few days. It's mostly written and is somewhere between a personal essay and a straightforward review, or at least moreso of a personal essay than the Baby Driver one was. Thanks as always for the support y'all :)

Enjoy! Let me know what y'all think!

Not an episode since it's less history/culture and more practical but it's in the series
Enjoy!!! :)
2017-06-30 12:37:26 +0000 UTC View PostI am currently cutting the Film Nerd video and it's going very quickly. I should definitely have it done by tonight and uploaded tomorrow afternoon barring any technical issues! Our internet wasn't working on and off last night and if that happens again today I'm going to be upset haha
If I get the shorter essays (the Baby Driver and Ghostbusters...
2017-06-29 22:49:02 +0000 UTC View PostI saw Baby Driver last night and typed up a review of it on my phone that I might record and cut a video out of. I am hesitant to be a critic but writing a review is so much faster than a lot of the doc-style stuff I do and I'm trying to figure out a way to get a video out every 1-2 weeks. Obviously I wouldn't just churn stuff out! But maybe not ev...
2017-06-28 17:38:26 +0000 UTC View PostThank y'all sooooo much!!! $200 per video is wonderful! It's a big milestone! Currently thinking about trying to make some shorter videos that won't be so complicated/time consuming to help keep content coming between short films and half-hour documentary essays. As always, stay tuned. Huge thank you to all of y'all!!! :)
2017-06-26 08:49:23 +0000 UTC View PostDecided to make the film nerd I'm recording a standalone because it deals with filmmaking advice rather than culture and history. But it's definitely in that vein so it'll still have the film nerd title, it just won't be an episode (it has more than enough content for an episode, it just felt a little too different).
Recording the audio for that ...

Gonna try to finish both this and the Man Man essay before the end of the month. Hopefully will get it in before the one year anniversary of Film Nerd 5 :)
This one is more advice-driven than research-driven so I wrote the full rough in one sitting just now (it's about low budget filmmaking). The Man Man essay took waaay more time to research and...
2017-06-10 02:10:54 +0000 UTC View PostMost of the way through the script of a video essay on political correctness and "problematic" media. Maybe I'll be able to start pulling off a video essay a month on top of comedy stuff? Who knows!
I also got rid of the commentary aspect of the reward tiers since I felt like nobody really cared about it vs the amount of time it took to do especi...

how ONE PIECE changed my life
2017-03-30 17:58:11 +0000 UTC View PostI caught up on One Piece overnight this week and am prob gonna do a quick essay on that in the interim between longer/more researched essays.
I haven't been doing commentaries on videos because not very many people watched them/seemed into them vs the amount of time it takes to put one together. Do you all have any requests for something else I c...

Hey all! Sorry for the delay. Thank you for your continued support. I have been hard at work on a lot of stuff behind the scenes.
My friend Devon and I shot and cut a 5 minute version of our newest short film for a screening and are working on a longer/better cut for YouTube. It's the most ambitious narrative short I've ever worked on as far as p...

Another short comedy film for y'all!!!! Wow! Not charging for it.
I actually shot a comedy show and will probably be adding some videos from that to my channel, also no charge. And if you missed the Hannibal essay be sure to check it out!!

2016-11-14 15:37:20 +0000 UTC View PostWon't be a paid post or video essay but it's worth watching. VERY proud of this one.
2016-10-14 04:25:45 +0000 UTC View PostHere is a very rough version of the intro to the Hannibal essay, as a patron exclusive. It is VERY much subject to change (at the very least it'll have footage over it). It's kind of shaping up to be the best and most vulnerable/personal video I...
2016-10-03 08:36:41 +0000 UTC View PostSo on the StrucciMovies youtube account I've added-
the FILM NERD REMASTERED episodes 1-5 MEGACUT
and a short film called Mannequrse.
I won't be charging for either of these. Check them out!! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh9DnjvO...

Google docs automatically made an outline out of my (super informal) organizational headers for the Hannibal video essay script and I got a kick out of them and figured I'd share as a little preview. I have so much stuff to condense here considering it's about ONE SHOW (rather than about, like, an entire medium) but I think this one is going to be ...
2016-08-24 20:06:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey! Everything is okay now and she is recovering really well but my mom had a heart attack yesterday. I have been spending a lot of time at the hospital with her and have gotten even more behind than usual on StrucciMovies stuff. I appreciate y'all's patience.
Thanks!
