Wow patrick you made a movie about me. I have extreme food allergies its no laughing matter. P.s i got a friend who makes movies 4 so far i can put you in touch with him.
"No one will hire you to do something unless you've already done it." As a creative person, (not to mention a college graduate in the liberal arts in the United States), it feels SO good to actually hear someone say this. You know how tired I get of hearing people talk about "transferable skills?" After 4 years of tutoring experience, when I try to apply for a teaching job: "So you've never ACTUALLY TAUGHT before? Like in a classroom?" After five years of small-town journalism experience and a lifetime of talking and blogging (unpaid) about movies, when I try to apply for a job as even a freelance entertainment writer: "So you've never actually BEEN PAID to write about this exact subject matter before?" Patrick speaks truth: No one will hire you to do something unless you've already done it.
Reminds me of right after I graduated college. Every job place I went to said the employers were all looking for experience in my field. I was finally able to get a temp job doing something outside my area of study just to pay the bills. A job became available at that company that was in my area of study and I was hired because my employer was already familiar with my work. I've been working in the same line of work for over 40 years now. I shudder to think what would have happened had I not been able to get that experience.
It is wild how many youtubers think that commenting on movies will lead to getting to make a movie though. Look at all the directors we love. They all went and made movies first.
@@howiespancakeshack you need money to shoot even a short film, to get money the person hiring you will require yoi have experience, in essence it means unless you are self funding it's extremely hard to get the foot on the door in the industry.
@@l4nd3r For sure. I didn't mean making money of youtube, that's great. It is a chicken and egg - but you basically have to want it more than anything else - to the detriment of everything else, for as long as everything else. It has never been easier to make a movie. Patrick made a whole coconut one with a crew of mostly 1. I get he's excited about crew, that's amazing and I am happy for him. Hope he makes an amazing movie.
As a long time fan of the channel I just wanna say congratulations. You help me watch and think about movies differently, and continually introduce me to great films and ideas!
Dude, i´m from the south of Brazil and I´ve been seeing your videos for at least five years. I´m deeply pround and motivated by this victory of your´s. Congrats, buddy!
As a writer, director, editor, producer, film school grad stuck putting up tents and throwing out trash in the locations department, you speak a lot of truth here and I wish you the best.
I know this is some really parasocial sh¡t to say but, man am I proud of you. I've been watching this channel for years now, I've been a Nebula user because of you for pretty much three years, and your channel is not only super informative but also incredibly inspiring for an aspiring filmmaker such as myself. You are living the dream! Enjoy every minute of it and make your best piece yet, I'll be here on first line to celebrate once it sees the light of day.
Im so excited to see your film, been waiting for a film by you for years frankly. I know you'll do great, please just remember to constantly trust in your vision while considering and seeking the critism of your collaborators. Break all the legs
You've put in so much time to this craft that it's about time it starts paying off! Night of the Coconut felt like an inflection point in your career and I'm so excited to see what The Dinner Plan will do for you and your friends. I wish you all the best!
Super excited to hear about this! Unfortunately I missed the boat on Night of the Coconut, so I'm looking forward to be with you on this journey! Also, first!
It’s surprisingly entertaining. I wasn’t expecting much but I enjoyed it. It was nothing against Patrick but RUclipsrs don’t have the best track record of making movies lol
I remember after Chris Stuckmann directed a movie people started getting annoyed with him because he wasn't as critical in his reviews anymore. In reality he just grew a deeper appreciation of the process. I love critical discussions about movies but your average move reviews are kinda dumb because they typically gloss over hundreds of people hard work and effort to minimize the entire film to just be "good" or "bad".
@@carpeXnoctem12 No, he straight up said he will never criticize any movie again. And it's obviously because he doesn't want to potentially make any enemies with anyone who could advance his career. It's the same as anyone else working in Hollywood. And critics understand much more than the average person how much work goes into a movie. However, criticism should not be influenced by that, since it doesn't matter to the final product. (If anything, a bad movie should be seen as a tragedy, a waste of a collective decades worth of work.) A lot of work and coordination goes into getting a Big Mac on your plate, but I'm still going to disregard a McDonald's employee's opinion on the quality of their food.
Congratulations Patrick, this is so exciting!!! I had a feeling that Griffin was gonna be part of the cast, and I'm so glad he is indeed, Blank Check is my all-time favorite podcast.
Wasn't it established as a rule that wherever in the Multiverse, Patrick never becomes a film director? Are we in a blessed timeline? Or is it the cursed one where power gets to his head and he becomes Other Patrick ?
So happy for you Patrick! I know how long you've wanted to do this, it's important to keep growing and learning. Looking forward to seeing the finished work - and not just because the cast is phenomenal!
Really excited to see what you do with this Patrick. I enjoy your film criticism, but as a medium-term watcher of your channel / Nebula subscriber, I'm happy to see you pivot. No pressure from me to keep up some content schedule of regular videos and reviews. Make the art you want to make.
I'm so happy for you, Patrick, and your equally talented friends in the cast. Been following you for years and so glad you're doing something to get closer to your goals. May it be a hit. All the love.
That's such a great news !! So happy for you and all your crew to embark on this adventure. Your Christmas Special last year convinced me to take a lifetime subscription to Nebula, and knowing that it allows creators like you to make what they really want just makes me even more happy to be a subscriber. Much love !
Patrick it’s been so amazing to see your growth and I’m genuinely happy to see your dreams come true. Your path towards this has been so punk rock and cool
That’s awesome!!! I was wondering when you were going produce a narrative fiction film. I appreciate your show. The quality is top notch. It helped me realize I needed to take my material more seriously.
Congratulations, Patrick. I saw the cast announcement on some official channel (maybe Deadline or something, I forget, but I do commend Nebula for making sure their productions hit those channels), and was quite impressed, quite an impressive feather in both your and Nebula's cap. I am intrigued to see this at some point. Also, I like the look today, the yellow's nice, definitely makes me think of both Dick Tracy (because I will forever associate yellow clothing with him) and Paddington (which I'm sure is more of your preference).
Love ya man and love your work. Your channel is the only one I actively follow. That being said I'm very happy for you and look forward to the dinner party. I'm sure it will rule
So excited for you, Patrick. Congratulations! You are such an interesting, thoughtful, hard working person, and you've had a huge impact on the way that I experience and think about film. I'm so excited to see you continue to advance in your career!
I'm so proud and happy for you. You have always had so much talent and knowledge that its amazing to see it be recognized. I cant wait to say things like, yeah Patrick Willems, famous award winning director, I've beek watching his stuff since youtube.
I'm so excited for this, not only because it sounds like a great film with an amazing cast, but also for the hope it gives all of us aspiring independent filmmakers. I love all the films I've watched on Nebula so far, & can't wait to watch the platform continue to become a bigger & bigger powerhouse of high quality art & entertainment.
Ooh man.. I can't tell you how excited I am to see the movie and am extremely happy for you... I just got this big smile on my face after you announced the cast. And seeing someone as talented and hardworking as yourself getting a chance is just amazing ❤❤
As someone who just came back from a business trip with my boss and fellow co-managers this sounds right up my alley. Congratulations, and I look forward to watching it!
I'm excited for you, Patrick, but you have to work on that elevator pitch. I'm sure the answer is explained in the movie, but it doesn't make sense why someone would attend a dinner party and not make their host aware of their food allergies
This is super exciting! Congratulations!!! I can’t wait! But one very important question that’s gone unanswered is where is that really really good yellow jacket that you’re wearing from???
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
Update: that's a wrap on production. We did it.
Wow that was fast
Why you no stripes?!
Damn...
Wow patrick you made a movie about me. I have extreme food allergies its no laughing matter.

You have come a long way from breaking bad jr

lying on your resume is moral at this point, imo

As a long time fan of the channel I just wanna say congratulations. You help me watch and think about movies differently, and continually introduce me to great films and ideas!
I'm also a bald movie nerd named Patrick and I have severe food allergies, so this is already my favorite movie ever.
You could be in the sequel...
But you forgot the glasses and scruffy face
proud of myself for hearing that pitch and thinking "You know, that sounds like a Griffin Newman type role."
Down Town Griffy Newms
Is GN in the movie?
I thought of how much John Hodgman would like Patrick and thought of the Maximum Fun & Nebula
@@peterkovic2241 Yup
he's gonna have to dig deep to play Stomach Agony
Dude, i´m from the south of Brazil and I´ve been seeing your videos for at least five years. I´m deeply pround and motivated by this victory of your´s. Congrats, buddy!
THEN WHAT WAS NIGHT OF THE COCONUT?! CHOPPED LIVER?!?
(also that opening music sounds like Metroid Prime)
yeah, cause people can't make another movie
👀
That was music Brian did for a video a couple years ago
@@blackmagemasher4031they can't though

Congrats Patrick! Crazy to watch guys like you and Stuckmann who I grew up watching make it to the big leagues
Im so excited to see your film, been waiting for a film by you for years frankly. I know you'll do great, please just remember to constantly trust in your vision while considering and seeking the critism of your collaborators. Break all the legs
The short film ends with the guy eating a coconut and throwing up.
congratulations Patrick and everyone, I can't wait to see the short!
You've put in so much time to this craft that it's about time it starts paying off! Night of the Coconut felt like an inflection point in your career and I'm so excited to see what The Dinner Plan will do for you and your friends. I wish you all the best!

Also, first!
It’s surprisingly entertaining. I wasn’t expecting much but I enjoyed it. It was nothing against Patrick but RUclipsrs don’t have the best track record of making movies lol
That cast tho! Congrats bro!
The guy said he is not going Hollywood, 😂😂😂 that cast is crazy
Congrats! 🎉 so happy for you!! Sending good energy to all cast and crew
That's a killer cast. Can't wait! Congrats!
Love when a critic puts their money where their mouth is and actually makes the same medium they critique. Stoked to see what you come up with.
François Truffaut FTW.
Red Letter Media FTW

Night of the Coconut was one of the funniest things I'd seen in forever and I'm so excited to see this new project!!!!
Congratulations Patrick, this is so exciting!!! I had a feeling that Griffin was gonna be part of the cast, and I'm so glad he is indeed, Blank Check is my all-time favorite podcast.
I wish you luck Patrick. I hope you make some great movies. Your movie essays have been so delightful and inspiring.
That is one hell of a cast. My god.

So, it's a Frasier episode
Shut up, Niles!
Except Frasier episodes are on Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Paramount Plus, where people can actually see them.
Woo! Congrats on getting funding 💛
Holy cow, I am really impressed by that cast. Great job I wish you all the best of luck.
Congratulations, Patrick (H) Willems! That crew list and that cast is amazing. Can't wait to see what you can do with them.
Surely, the plot of _The Dinner Plan_ can be resolved with the lead saying, "I'm sorry, I can't eat that, I'm deathly allergic"?
lol exactly
I signed up for Nebula for Night of the Coconut. Glad to see the platform thriving, and also you thriving, specifically.
Congrats! Can't wait for it
So happy for you Patrick! I know how long you've wanted to do this, it's important to keep growing and learning.
Looking forward to seeing the finished work - and not just because the cast is phenomenal!

The best part of your videos are the informative parts... Good luck on making a movie.

This is incredible and well deserved! Congratulations Patrick! First the Dinner Party, next the Oasis Biopic! You are on your way!
Thanks for sharing your journey with us! This is amazing! Congratulations!🍾🎈🎊👏👏👏🥳🤩
You deserve it. Hoping it's everything you want it to be and more!

That transition music sounds darn close to gimme gimme gimme. Only the first couple of notes but abba is now firmly stuckbin my head. Thanks Patrick.
Hell yeah glad to see all of your hard work paying off! Can't wait to watch!
Dude, this is so sick. I'm so happy for you. Hopefully it's awesome, and it leads you to bigger and better things!
Who's this Patrick guy? I paid to see Knobbles
I think Patrick is his intern or something
😅😅😅
@k1ngk4gl3 😅😅😅
@@k1ngk4gl3yes, his intern. he‘s interested in movies (I think he might even make one).
_Inside Out 2's_ Anxiety in the mutated flesh.
Congrats! Wonderful news
For some reason, I imagine it opening identically to The Great Muppet Caper.
Seeing you take this step makes me so happy!!! Can’t wait to see it
Dude this cast is insane
I’m really excited, I only hope that your knowledge shows through the film since I think you have a lot of great insights
WOOHOO!! So excited and happy for you ♡♡

Amazing! So happy for you and the team!

Congratulations! That's a stacked cast, can't wait to see what you create.
What a great cast! Also I've now realized Zach Cherry being in both Severance and Succession is why I thought they were the same show for awhile
Good for you man!! How exciting! Go forth and film 💫

People will allergies love talking about their allergies. Mainly because it might keep them from pooping their pants.
Couldn’t be happier for you, Patrick! Congrats! I think it’s time to (finally) sign up for Nebula 😅
This is super exciting! Congratulations!!! I can’t wait!
