Anyone Else But Me
Added 2024-03-01 18:55:58 +0000 UTCHey Patrons,
The second movie of the year is officially out!
I started shooting this on February 1st and got the final edit done yesterday. I accidentally made an absolutely massive movie in the shortest month of the year. I am immensely proud of what my friends and I pulled off with this one and I hope you enjoy it.
I'll be doing a video on Joel Talks About Movies about this movie soon, as well as a budget breakdown soon after that.
Expect Patreon exclusive commentary tracks for this movie and The Hero's Journey hopefully sometime this month, thanks for your patience on those.
Thank you so much for the support that has made this massive passion project possible. I'm excited for what lays ahead.
Love, Joel Haver

2024-03-17 21:37:42 +0000 UTCJoel, Caleb makes me really uncomfortable, way to go making a whole feature length about him, a very nice adjunct to the long streams of gaming. Anyone else but me, had me in the first five minutes, incredible twists and turns. Incredible shots and a soundtrack that added incredible tension. We Have to Leave here together, I totally forgot you were playing both characters, I watched twice. Forget Everything for Awhile, it sticks with me. Such an incredible bond and caring in this weird encounter, AMBER!

2024-03-13 17:05:44 +0000 UTCHey, loved the film Joel! I was wondering if I could get your permission to do a showing. I’m trying to raise money for my college acapella group. Thanks for doing what you do, you’re really awesome.

2024-03-10 21:44:57 +0000 UTCCongratulations on successfully following your dreams! I hate to be off-topic here, but I’ve just got to know: the Oscars are on Sunday! Are you going to be making a movie during them again?

2024-03-09 12:41:36 +0000 UTCI for one feel proud to have partially supported the special effects on this movie. That unexpected **** shot was amazing. XD Theme: We are all searching for the reactions we hope to receive, the rotational archtype theme was really interesting and started to layer nicely towards the end becoming a presence across all the characters. The Theatre melt down scene also a huge highlight , great film collaboration amongst this crew!

2024-03-04 13:12:28 +0000 UTCThere are people who say, "Oh, just go out and make a movie. Use your phone and photograph some friends." Every time I hear that I roll my eyes, it's not that easy. Joel makes it look that easy (even though it isn't). Some of his best camera work, and definitely his best directing to date from what I've seen. The long oner negotiation, the meta levels folding in on themselves like origami, and that vfx shot all came together for a great movie - a movie made in a month. Joel, when you talk about this one in more detail, can you mention the script and the process. I assume this script was already in the can before February started. You mostly talk about production, but it would be nice to hear about pre production with this one. Cause even the schedule planning to pull this off would be interesting. Thanks again man.

2024-03-04 08:34:06 +0000 UTCIt’s crazy to see all these creators that I’ve followed over the years come together in such a well thought out, cinematic film. This was so great, thanks Joel

2024-03-03 14:39:24 +0000 UTCWow, this was really great! Thought I would just watch a bit, but ended up watching the whole movie in one sitting. I'm so happy that you're doing this, and are surrounded and supported by so many wonderful people and friend. Many actor friends we've seen in shorts thought-out the years, now really bringing it here 🙏🥳🌟 great job all of you!

2024-03-03 10:22:48 +0000 UTCI have to know if this is the secret Kevin James King of Queens reboot project or if that is still secret

2024-03-03 04:38:26 +0000 UTCWonderful This had tension in the right ways, can’t believe it was shot and edited within a month

2024-03-02 21:15:35 +0000 UTCoh my goodness joel! this was incredible! i cannot wait to hear your commentary on this

2024-03-02 14:47:26 +0000 UTCGreat job. The scene with the negotiation was particularly powerful. I'm really excited for more of these films, can't wait

2024-03-02 13:26:12 +0000 UTCvisuals look good. took a quick look before I went to watch Dune - Part 2 on fri. that movie's got a lot going on :) - will have to make this the next new movie I watch. maybe this can be marketed as "the perfect movie to watch to recover from Dune - Part 2" :). congrats on getting this new one out!

2024-03-02 10:38:06 +0000 UTCThe one that stands out the most to me is definitely Mark's. I guess I kinda just wanted to know what happened with both the kidnappers ultimately, as I found their storyline to be the most interesting part of the film.
Matt H
2024-03-02 03:52:41 +0000 UTCI see what you mean, and I found Mark's plotline served us excruciating intrigue and yet the mystique would be ruined if explored further. I think this philosophy applies to every character to various degrees, but Mark's mystery stands out to me. What areas do you think were left hanging?

2024-03-02 02:14:23 +0000 UTCWatched it this morning with my tea, and what started as "I'll just watch the first 10 minutes while I drink a cup" ended up two pots later with me nodding along like "You go girl, live that fantasy that if you just keep putting in increasingly creative efforts to explain it in exactly the right way, you can make a guy truly understand why he sucks and why you're with mustache man now, because just saying what you mean and being who you are requires knowing what you mean and who you are, and also it doesn't work anyway, oh, haha I'm in the credits and I guess life is good now" I didn't read the patreon benefits description so I was delightfully surprised to see "Tori, Writher #1 Fan" listed! Writher is a uh... possibly sentient magic alien weapon from Super Supportive, a wonderful story I support here on Patreon, just in case you're wondering what you've attached to the credits of your film. Looking forward to the commentary!

2024-03-01 19:43:32 +0000 UTCgood thing it was a leap year, that extra day still makes Feb the shortest month! congrats! can't wait to watch it!

2024-03-01 19:11:05 +0000 UTCWe are going home to watch it immediately 💜 Edit: Wow. Just wow. Sorry that's all I have. In a great way.

2024-03-01 19:10:59 +0000 UTCJust finished it and loved it. The only criticism I have is that I wanted more of certain plot lines because I enjoyed where they could potentially be going so much, but then the film would have ended up being like 3hrs probably lol.

2024-03-01 19:04:16 +0000 UTCI am so pumped to watch it after work!
