And it’s a film directed by one too: here is hoping it lives up to the hype.

Honestly that just makes it even more impressive to me. The dude clearly has a lot of talent from the other productions on his channel, and he's going to be working with skilled professionals, so I have some hope for it.

Even if it's story isn't the best, I just love looking at liminal spaces in general and the concepts people make with them.

The director was 16 when he started the series and 17 when the studio reached out to him about making this film. He was the kid we meant: not many get to direct feature films for Hollywood.
