Written by David Welch.
Narrated and edited by Joey Scoma.Not to nitpick, but I’d think video essays might be a different category from documentaries? Your thread of course.
The thread title also includes “making ofs” and “promos”, and there’s been interviews added as well. Plus, I only wrote “video essay” because that’s what they called it. It’s basically a short documentary, and a really interesting one at that, so I felt it was worth sharing here.
