So! I’m gonna start setting up weekly scheduled *editing/chitchat streams*—given that my test stream in which we all watched something was immediately taken down for copyright reasons—and I don’t game very much. 😁
Let’s call it Wednesdays and Fridays starting next week, for now?

thinking about doing gaming/editing streams for donations so i can start saving for this damn car. that something viewers would want to see?
in my experience folks are only interested in a handful of my finished videos rather than Val As An Internet Personality (not complaining—matter fact, *good*)

It’s been ten minutes since last time, you know what that means: Val is asking for money again.

Today REVERIE turns 2. Still the last film I’ve made to-date, weeks before coming out, and sitting at a stranger & stranger place in my soul as I get further from it.
It’s odd, baking so much shame into a passion narrative—or maybe passion into a shame narrative? Idk! It’s uncomfortable! Love that.

I like to show people my film REVERIE because it’s way too personal to know my intent at all and the viewer therefore has to find their own meaning in it. go look

need more filmmakers who intentionally only make dated/of-their-time films **with the hope that they are encapsulating a world that will be better than this sooner rather than later**—a moment in time that openly begs to be obsolete.
the thought brings me to fucking tears tbh

Inside Llewyn Davis is my favorite film. I've seen it countless times. And yet every single time I watch it, "I don't see a lot of money here" hits like a gut punch

None of these Republicans and most of these Democrats are not all of a sudden “seeing the light on ICE.” They simply understand the worm turning on public opinion and saving face. They will ALL go back to voting for minority brutalization as soon as they can. You can’t keep falling for this.
