    True story.. My friend and I met this guy on the bus & for the whole ride he talked to us about his movies & his terrible acid reflux. It was the same day of his bus scene. He told us we'd make great vampires lol. What a small world.

    The man is so passionate about filming ANYTHING (Movies or Vlogging) that people can't let go of their ego to actually dive into his mentality. I've been around people like him and I'm so thankful those people exist. They never let anyone or anything kill their passion and that's motivation, man.

    I think this guy might be autistic...
    I'm not hating or being edgy or whatever, I'm being genuine. Also I'm saying this as an autistic person myself.
    Like he never made eye contact, he did a bunch of scripting, echolalia, etc. He's clearly hyperverbal (most people think there's only nonverbal and verbal, but there's actually nonverbal, partially verbal, verbal, and hyperverbal). Monster movies are probably a special interest of his. That ant toy is probably a comfort item. Etc, etc.
    Hell the being easily side tracked thing: I'm actually on ADHD meds despite not having ADHD because there's just so much swirling around in my head that I'm a total scatter brain without them. And this isn't uncommon either.
    Like I think it's awesome that he's just living his best life, and everyone is cool with it. Stay weird buddy, you're awesome!

    After watching this excellent short documentary I can say with confidence that David "Rock" Nelson is one of the most genuine, positive, self-driven artists I've ever had the pleasure to discover and learn about. His life and works are truly inspiring! I think we can all learn a lot from a man like David. These days it's all too often that we criticize others for their unique and or different characteristics, personalities, and interests just because they don't fit neatly into a generalized social norm. We all stand to gain wisdom by learning about his life and works. We can especially learn from "The Rock" how to live more genuinely and be true to ourselves while embracing positivity, optimism, compassion, and respect for others. David's unwavering passion, unique personality, and lifelong commitment to interpersonal kindness and creativity are essential modern virtues. This was a great episode of *OUTSIDER*. Thanks, Zack Carlson! :)

    What VICE really needs to do is give all these guys classes on modern recording techniques and digital editing. Then maybe one more on RUclips culture/algorithms then boom, you've got 3+ new badass tubers.

    I remember being in film school and once a month we used to drop E and watch VHS tapes of Dave "Rock" Nelson's films from when the bars closed at 2am until we ran out of movies to watch.
    I was constantly amazed that we went from me and my buddy Luke watching in my small apartment living room to about 30-40 people watching on a projector TV in the back of the bar I worked at after close.
    If you went to film school with us in the 90's and were chill this became a right of passage.
    I love his work.
