Update on Upcoming Videos
Added 2020-10-01 13:10:29 +0000 UTCHello everyone! It's October 1st and you may have noticed that there was no video released in the month of September. Don't worry! Everything is okay!
We usually release 2 videos every month, but after I experienced a real case of burnout exactly a year ago, I've been trying to periodically schedule little breaks for myself. The idea is that every 3 months, I'll have a month with just 1 video. I got a bit too confident back in June and totally skipped my break (I actually added extra videos because I was on a roll), so I was excited for the upcoming break in September.
It turned out to be less of a break than I expected (any of my friends reading this are rolling their eyes right now because they know how bad I am at relaxing). It turned out I was more exhausted from the summer than I'd realized, and between trying to make this massive Coppola video, figuring out a new work routine now that I'm back in the city, and trying to redo the apartment after Matt moved, I fell behind on work.
Thankfully in the past week I've bounced back, and here's what's happening:
The Coppola video is now a 2-parter. There's so much to cover, and it was getting ridiculously long and unmanageable. If Michael Bay warrants a 2-part video, so does Francis.
Part 1 will be out within a day or so. I'm fine-tuning it and finishing the editing.
Part 2 will probably be out a week later. It's all written and partly shot so I'm actually ahead on it.
Then another video will be out late in October.
So even though there was no video released during the calendar month of October, you're still getting the September video, plus the two for October as planned.
I appreciate the support and patience. We're working hard to make some really cool stuff. I think you're going to enjoy it. Stay tuned.

Hey Patrick - to echo what everyone else also seems to be saying - great that you are taking some time to rest, love the videos but will happily have them come a bit less often (and keep Patreon subscription active regardless) if it means you can take care of yourself and work at a sustainable pace. Looking forward to the Coppola one once it drops!

2020-10-01 20:41:24 +0000 UTCNice. Can't wait to see these videos. It sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun. BTW? Will you ever do a two-or-three part on Marty Scorsese?

2020-10-01 13:59:17 +0000 UTCHi Patrick, Take all the time you need, The videos you make are always made with such high quality. I am planning to watch also all the Coppola films, I love to watch a whole filmography from someone. And especially when you are going to make a video about it.
