This comment is wildly inappropriate and absolutely hilarious. Had me cracking up when I read it this morning. So shame on you... and thanks. :-P

This would probably make it big on YouTube. I suggest you post it up there before someone else does.
Zak Stoltz 1 month ago

I'm flattered that you think so! I actually just uploaded it to YouTube, but I'm not really publicizing its existence there. I'd rather drive as much traffic here as possible. :-)

Takin' the high road. I like that. Youtube is a world that you don't need to be in , Zak.

Nice beard. Great video

The shot with the pretzels blowing past her was incredible, as was the K.O. punch shot.

That said, I cannot get behind the message of this short film.
Zak Stoltz 1 month ago

It's ok, just watch this, and everything will be better:

Excellent, excellent video man!!! Whoa. This would appeal to indie film makers, a general non-indie audience, people who just like comic videos - it's a funny concept and well executed. You should also put out a behind-the-scenes video explaining how you did the special effects too - that could be a part of your marketing push. and I slightly disagree with you , you should DEFINITELY push this hard on youtube because that's what mainstream entertainment news shows pay attention to. You get 500,000+ views on there in a short time especially and they'll be inviting you on ALL their shows and giving you free, invaluable press. So definitely(!!) push this on youtube. I discovered this video through buzzfeed. and lastly - who's your co-star? I didn't notice her name in the credits - and she's a hottie. inquiring minds want to know. you don't want to piss the feminists off by not giving the lady credit. lol. again - good job.
Zak Stoltz 1 month ago

Doh! Added my co-star's credit in the video description. I'm kicking myself for not doing that earlier. Thanks for bringing that up. :-/

You have some very good points about YouTube. At this point, I'm not even really pushing BEARD PUNCH on Vimeo anymore. It's sort of just spreading virally, which is pretty amazing. I'm totally inexperienced and it sounds like you probably have a bit more expertise in the area, so I think I'll be sending you a private message now. :-)
