    Your vloging style is my favorite. I love how you are able to use your skills as a creative outlet to express yourself and what you are feeling; all the while creating a piece that, from a viewer's standpoint, is not only entertaining and beautiful to watch but also relatable on a human level.

      I was going to say the same thing. His vlogging style is unlike any I've seen and it's truly captivating in a way that i feel like I'm watching a beautiful film, with color schemes and all, while also watching and listening to a little portion of a story of Bertie's life and it's truly amazing. I can't wait to see more from you Bertie

      that is so incredibly kind of you. i always fear these vlogs can come off as a bit self-indulgent, which they probably do. but at the very least, with this series each time i wanted to create a 'video blog' in the truest sense and convey something personal in a way that's at least a bit accessible. thank you thank you thank you

    I relate hard to the lack of inspiration to put things on this site when people like Logan Paul are so prevalent and doing terrible stuff. Like why would we want to be associated. Anyway, everything you make at least inspires me to keep trying. Keep ya head up.

    Bertie you absolutely came through with the cinematography in this. Every shot with it's shallow depth of field and incredible composition and grade genuinely inspired me which is something I have not felt in a worryingly long time from this website. Not only that but you certainly achieved what you said about your films being about capturing and conveying a feeling, this film perfectly encapsulates how you feel in a way that is artistic, interesting and fresh. Hope that creating something again has pushed the corners of your mouth slightly more skyward :)

    Every single day my mind finds a quiet moment and decides to stab me in the heart. I relate so much to what you spoke about in this video. I'm 19 and I feel so much pressure to get everything right and do everything well. I feel like I'm always wasting my time and my response is either scrambling to get things done or giving up and hating myself in the toxic grey waste of mediocrity and self-loathing. It's so difficult for me to relax and enjoy it. What I'm trying to practice is feeling rewarded if I get one thing done. Or if I get a few things done and not feel bad if I didn't complete the other 50 things on my to-do list. This sucks. I have to keep reminding myself of my age. I have to keep reminding myself that I know that I want this and that I won't completely stop until I've reached it. I just have to be patient and enjoy every part of life, not just the productive ones. I hope you keep on and navigate your way through this feeling. I haven't overcome it, but I'm learning to defend myself in those times and I hope you do to. Thank you for being so open about this, Bertie. Great visuals. Good stuff, my guy. #qualitycontent #contentcreator #deep

    Agh, as a fellow two decades-old person thos really struck a chord. (Wow I've never used that idiom in English before I feel so fluent)
    I could really relate to the thought of feeling guilty wheb doing something 'fun' and resilting to thinking "well nothing matters" right after.
    But life is still here, I guess, and as a child of individualism I try to mute out the thoughts that I should be doing something "good" or "useful" and just be selfish and enjoy

    bertie: i dont know if you will ever read this, but i just wanted to say thank you. ever since the first time i watched stray dog, i have wanted to create. not even just film, but just create in general. something about your aesthetic can change my mood in an instant. you have helped me realize that being sad can ultimately be a good thing. throughout the years of watching you make film, i have learned a lot more about myself and the world around me and i couldnt be more grateful for you for helping me through this in some way. thank you.

    I have been an avid fan since late 2015, and you make the literal best short films honestly. Like most short films can’t actually attack my emotions and I really appreciate that yours do. And I relate to them. If you feel they are greatly expensive (which it fucking is) you should have a gofundme type deal where you can have people donate money to help put into your films. This video is relatable to me because I feel the same way. Keep making art.

    This resonated with me so much... nothing feels more existentially despairing when you realise you peaked creatively when you were 12... i used to make so much cool art and music just for fun, just for the sake of me wanting to create something i loved... and now i don't have time, when i do i don't have the energy, i have other responsibilities to worry about before i can even think about doing anything concrete with my ideas... life is a scam... honestly

  • @mimirobin
    @mimirobin 6 лет назад +7

    first of all, been watching your videos since 2012 and they only get better. you're inspiring and your editing or slow pace of story telling is very beautiful and calming. secondly, i can relate a lot to this feeling of pressure, that everything has to be sorted out and i end up worrying all the time, but fortunately the cinema is still my happy place where i can leave everything behind (given that the film is good), thirdly, and off topic what you say about distilled sadness reminded me so much of Tommy Shelby (from Peaky Blinders) who explained that he was making Gin, distilled for the eradication of seemingly incurable sadness

  • @helenecrowley1156

  • @YasmineWilde
    @YasmineWilde 6 лет назад

    "be sad, but make it art." I don't know who said that. maybe I just did. either way, I appreciated you articulating this because it's something I struggle with too. but you inspire me to create and I probably won't but I feel inspired and that's something.

  • @alexkateleonard4243
    @alexkateleonard4243 6 лет назад

    I moved house and started a new job a few months ago, lots of ‘adulting’ happening at once and I’ve found myself unable to focus on any previous creative projects to any extent as well as letting myself fall into the trap of “it’s not good enough why bother” so this resonated a lot with me. Thank you it’s always nice to have validation that someone else is feeling the same that you are.

  • @Iris-nd1nb
    @Iris-nd1nb 6 лет назад

    I really resonated with the bit about feeling guilty doing stuff you enjoy. I feel like it's drilled into us that doing something 'unimportant' or 'unproductive' is bad and stupid but it's just not. If something gives you joy you should be able to do it without guilt. Like if I'm doing something relaxing I should be able to chill out and not continuously beat myself up about it :)) hope you feel better soon dude, keep going!!!

  • @Goulding1997
    @Goulding1997 6 лет назад

    I think everyone who creates anything, including me, goes through these splodges of feeling low and worthless and its super super hard to get out of it and can last for unknown amounts of time but even just writing/filming something with no direction a few times every now and then helps almost climb out of this sticky funk youre in and re-sparks something slowly that could turn into something exciting and fabulous in the future! Keep creating these fab videos in your own time x

  • @MELTXXX
    @MELTXXX 6 лет назад

    Bertie, there's no perfect way of saying this but on some level I have experience and do experience this exact feeling aswell. As you perfectly put it "a sadness that no matter how distilled and concentrated leads to a feeling of worthlessness"; I pretty much inject happy thoughts and hope into my daily life so that I can perhaps convince myself that I'm not truly happy. Because I believe most creative people feel like if theyre not creating something worthwhile theyre not happy. The financial aspects of everything can often serve as a weight too heavy under which we hold with weak arms, no matter how strong we believe ourselves to be.

  • @annelieschulze3945
    @annelieschulze3945 6 лет назад

    This video came at the exact right moment. I have been struggling with the exact same thoughts the last few months. I decided recently that I wanted to take my art seriously and to somehow make a living out of it later. Since I did that the pressure is super high on me, like before I was just doodling and everything seemed fun and games but now that I decided to take it seriously I question myself everytime I am not consciously working hard on improving and creating quality good stuff. It came to a point that I just didn't do art at all because it wasn't fun anymore and I asked myself if art was even the right choice for me if I can't enjoy it if I take it seriously.
    What helped was to always keep in mind that you are supposed to enjoy the process. I try not to think about the future too much bc it fucking scares the shit out of me. So don't worry, you are not alone.

    @Alicia16104 6 лет назад +4

    In the least patronising way possible I think this is a sign of the age! I'm 23 now and I've had exactly the same feeling set in since a couple of years ago and I've come to the conclusion its part of finding out who you are and what the world is about. I guess transitioning into adulthood is actually quite hard. I am just telling myself that it will settle as I grow older and my 'real life' becomes a reality where things are more settled and certain.

  • @ReversibleCheesecake

Apparently my brain is dopamine deficient and I’m hella depressed but it’s getting better and I totally relate to knowing you have a good life and knowing you’re amazing but for some reason the only thing you can think is I hate myself, everyone else hates me, what’s the point? The best thing for me and a lot of low dopamine dudes is therapy and medication. I hope things get better cause you’re fucking incredible and no one deserves to feel like shit

    I was never really able to connect to the movies in the theater, but yours always bring me to tears (in a good way). Your films are truly remarkable, and have influenced me in ways I never thought possible. As someone who struggles with anxiety, depression, denationalization, and a load of other stuff, your films allow me to forget that and just be me. You may never know the profound effect they have had on me, or how healing they are, but thank you so very much for everything you have done, whether or not you are aware of it. :)

  • @bananawomanD
    @bananawomanD 6 лет назад

    i'm 23 and i just started a real actual teaching job an entire ocean from where i lived, and it's hard and i've been struggling so much. i used to love writing and reading and found so much joy in it. but recently i just haven't done it much because there's a voice in my head saying what's the point of writing if i'm not as good as other people at it, and how does it even help my day job or my advancing in it. idk, i think at the end of the day, i think i can only hope that this is the sort of thing that passes with age and experience. not very comforting, but you're not the only 20+ year old creative person (or what feels like ex-creative person)! there's probably a whole bunch of us hating ourselves and feeling that numbness at the thought of death.

It's creepy because I'm only a viewer, a spectator of the life you've led since you were 16, but because of you and Sav, I feel less lonely and less crippled in accomplishing my goals.

  • @jinalives3093
    @jinalives3093 6 лет назад

    It's kinda spooking me out a little how accurately everything you said in this video describes what I've been feeling lately. I'm turning twenty this year. In my head I know it's just a number, but a part of me is counting down the days, knowing when I turn twenty it'll be almost one and a half years since I graduated from high school, and I will feel like I haven't accomplished anything. I feel like all my life I've spent sitting in school, dreaming about all the things I would do and now... I have to actually do them, and somehow it isn't working out. My mental health has been worse again and I am generally just so overwhelmed with everything, now on top of that the whole financial shit is added to it, and I am just not getting anywhere, and somehow, I realize, I have based my whole confidence and feeling of self-worth on my creations, on my success in things like music and film, because I always felt like that's who I am, and if I can't even do that, then who am I and and what's the point? Of all the things you said, what hit home most is that now, your biggest fear is letting people down and being a failure. My exact fears. And everything I've loved is just exhausting and difficult. I am thankful for this video, and it's actually good to know that someone I creatively look up to has felt the same struggle. I think we might both need to start enjoying the things we love again, not always seeing them as a 'must' and as 'each has to be better than the last' but simply a way of being creative and enjoying ourselves, having fun, even if it isn't the best thing we've ever created. I miss that, just creating because it feels good, without this internalized pressure of where it has to go. and nah you're not cringe, at least I don't feel like you are

    loved this. I've been thinking a lot lately about why I make stuff and I think the main reason is that it's the closest thing I'll ever get to a solution to the swirling mess of my thoughts, an answer to all my questions. I know that talking about your feelings and such is important but a lot of the time it's just vague stuff and theories that keep on turning inwards on themselves and I'm never properly able to describe them, so conversations leave me with the same mess as before (plus I now also feel bad for vomiting thoughts at someone). so I really relate to your sentiment of having to pour all that into something tangible, giving a concrete shape to your experiences and ideas
    that being said, mr cringe: I hope that whatever lighthearted thing you're aiming to make next will be made while also feeling properly lighthearted yourself xx (also good luck with the patreon, just became a patron myself and am very excited for your director's commentaries)

So many things happened in 9 months; i moved back with my parents, I changed course in college, I got a job. Shit happens. It's alright. It always gets better. What I did was that one night I watched "Frances Ha" and it made me fall in love with filmmaking all over again. Sometimes, you just need time. Sometimes, you just need to find your movie.

    We're too young to feel so numb. I'm 20, in the final year of filmmaking studies, and I feel completely scared of taking myself in the "adult world" of responsibilities. Doing new things, watching new films, listening to new songs it all seems like a challenge to me. Finding joy is all I want. To feel something. Yet I sabotage myself before I can even begin to do anything about it. So thank you for reminding me I'm not alone with this and that there is beauty in our struggle. Keep up with the work, or not, whatever you feel like doing. Thank you again and sorry for the long comment, I'm writing a script and I'm in that mood. God I hate myself.

    Bertie these videos inspire me so much it’s ridiculous, I’m struggling a lot on the creative side of things right now and I’m finding it difficult to even think about what to do. But every time you upload I get a sense of aspiration to try to at least give something a go, absolutely love and admire your content, if you check your phone notes from SITC my Instagram account will be in there and it’d be fantastic if you could contact me on there so I could perhaps bounce some ideas off of you as you’ve been my greatest influence. Keep up the fascinating work.

    I feel EXACTLY the same about Her. A movie that came along and resonated with me on an almost religious level at the exact right time in my life. It has since become my favorite movie of all time

    I just am thinking about how many people watched this, nodding their heads- either at the tail end of their teenage years or in the seat of their roaring, disappointing 20’s- and they feel the same depression that I feel. The same one you’re talking about. Bertie, you speak and it resonates with us. We have the same frame of reference, the same interests, and we’re of the same generation. That’s why I’m confident that you’ll look back one day at all your practical worries and expenses, and laugh at the notion that they seemed to deter you for even a moment. This video is proof that the medium and the tools don’t matter; anything you make is pure and deserves to be seen.

    I think that your use of this platform to express your thoughts on your depression and anxiety is a very positive thing for your followers (like myself) who are going through similar issues. It's not about having a self indulgent pity party. Rather, it's healthy and reassuring to hear the perspective of others. Art is ALL about expressing yourself: the good AND the bad.

    A part of myself believes that sadness and depression are the main influences on creativity. I wrote my best poetry while being down. However you have to overcome those feelings and will eventually... What helps significantly is, however it hurts to say so, to take your time off the regular thoughts and to go travel or anything like it. It helps to focus on the important things leaving you with new inspiration. Anyways... Love the unique style of your vids =)

    I can’t even explain how much I adored this video. It’s so lovely to hear you talk about such serious intimate topics while still making me laugh all the way through with your little splices of comedy that could be blink and you’ll miss em. Most of all I just adore your style of filmmaking and how everything in this video just looks so so gorgeous. It gives me the feeling that you say you used to have when visiting the cinema. It makes me want to create similar things. Very much doubt you’ll ever see this but I thought on the off chance you might, and it might make you feel happy about the amazing thing you’ve created, I’d write it and post it anyway:)

    God you have no idea how much I appreciate your work. This - this video is art in itself. Each frame is beautiful - the editing is incredible. You have a plethora of skills some film makers could only dream of hence why they have to hire so many fucking other people to do it all for them x

  • @davinadaras

    I'm very happy you made this video. I definitely can relate to almost all of the emotions you're going through right now. I'm not a filmmaker but for the past five and a half months I was pursuing full time photography. At first I felt super happy and liberated, but as time slowly passed I became more and more stressed over having enough money for rent, bills, food, etc. I felt like I was in a constant dilemma. If I wasn't trying my hardest to be a "business woman" every five seconds I felt like a complete failure. I too LOVE video games but every time I played one I just kept thinking, "I shouldn't be doing this, I should be working, I should be hustling, what's wrong with me?" I was in constant fear of disappointing my family because there even came a time where I had to ask them for help financially and I felt so guilty.. I eventually picked up a part time job just to help lift some heaviness off of my conscious but I still felt like a failure, like I had been gutted and that I was giving up and rolling over. I even found myself questioning my love for photography and if this was the correct path. I lost joy in the way I did my artwork. Even now I don't know "what I'm supposed to do". Didn't mean to write a freaking book in your comment section but I deeply relate and even though it sucks you're going through a hard time, it's nice knowing you're never alone and that there are people who understand. I believe in you so much, everything you're going through will only make you stronger and better.

    I resonate with this so much. At 8:05, I knew what you were about to say. I said it _with_ you -
    *"Failure."*

    thank u so much for posting this .. I turned 20 this year and ive been living on my own and studying film and fine art at university and it really is the most exhausting draining thing to have to take care of yourself on your own and maintain your life and simultaneously produce content that you feel proud of, its a really bizarre process but i really respect u so much for putting this video out !!!! sending u love man

  • @gracepelekanou1727
    @gracepelekanou1727 6 лет назад

  • @Frandalfthegrey
    @Frandalfthegrey 6 лет назад

    I really appreciate your honesty here. RUclips can often feel so similar to Instagram- everyone is beautiful and having an amazing time- so I really love that you just told the fucking truth. Your videos helped me a lot last year when I was just **sad** too. All I can say is- keep making your shit, keep loving your cat, keep watching the shows that bring you joy, and don’t convince yourself that your sadness makes you shit, because all that does is make you sadder. You will come out of this. And when you do, you’ll have some awesome things to say, some art to make. If it helps at all, I feel the same about your content as you did about Her.

    I relate so much to this! Deffo think it's something to do with turning 20. There's a lot of expectations to have everything sorted out by the time you leave your teens and despite knowing that's unrealistic I still struggle with feelings of inferiority and failure. I guess it's just a learning curve and something that'll sort itself out in time. But for now: welcome to the Existentialist Twenty Year Old Club!

  • @thisisaudwy

    Your vlogs reminds me a lot of the diary I keep when I have anxiety or panic attacks: it helps me rationalize my thoughts more and figure things out more easily. I hope these videos have the same therapeutic effect... I don't know, you show your feelings in such a brilliant and creative way. These 15 minutes went by so quickly, the rhythm was so smooth. You genuinely make my RUclips viewing experience worth it. Thank you.

    I have watched RUclips videos regularly (I hope that's a word) for 8 years now and these vlogs are the perfect mix of content and cinematography and I love them... a lot
    So thank you, Bertie, for making it
    I hope these could come off more often but I understand your situation (Most condescending line I wrote ever, I'm sorry)
    What I mean is that I really like your style ok!
    My only wish is that one day I will watch one of your films at the cinema and cry a lot beside a lot of people

    I've got a bit of a similar problem; I want to create but I feel as though I don't have the knowledge, money, or tools to create something to the standards I've set for myself. It makes me anxious to sit and do nothing because I feel useless but the thought of creating something I know is bad is discouraging. I think the only thing to do is try to listen to the logical voice in our heads that tells us that the only thing to do is push on and get something done. Best of luck to you!

  • @mara1341
    @mara1341 6 лет назад

    This was absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere, the rawness of the entire piece, it's beautiful. I can relate to this at such a level, that at one point I had to pause and marvel at how similar our situations are.

  • @yasminhizuka

    Bertie you shouldn't do something stupid just because that's what you believe we'll like. I honestly enjoyed this video because it's genuine and relatable to all of our lives, it's also beautifully shot and we can see that you're truly talented.

  • @ciaraisadinosaur
    @ciaraisadinosaur 6 лет назад
