this young filmmaker, Julian Smith, started a blog about 6 months ago. he posts smart, quirky short films in HD and uses every major social networking site to get his work and energy out into cyberspace: myspace, twitter, wordpress, flickr, youtube, and facebook.
speaking of facebook...
he made a little spoof video blog in response to a chain note that has been going around on facebook, "25 things about me" (i'm sure you've all been tagged to do it at some point) . his version, "25 things i hate about facebook" has become a youtube sensation: it's been up since feb. 13 and has had over 134,000 views. in its first week, it surpassed 40,000. talk about going viral. youtube, being a smart, progressive, media-savvy company, has contacted him about becoming a "Partner," whatever that means. Did I mention he's 21? Yea. 21.
he's literally becoming a viral celebrity... and judging by his charismatic work, it looks like he deserves the attention he's getting. Check it out:
