The best YouTube channels for film essays

The Nerdwriter is a video series about art and culture.

Taylor & Tony are brewing up something new. Stay tuned. We returned in late 2024 for a limited series featuring brand new video essays, followed by a short film – "The Second," starring Paul Sun-Hyung Lee & Ethan Hwang. The original "Every Frame a Painting" was a series of video essays about film form, made from April 2014 to September 2016. We officially announced the end of the channel in December 2017. Nothing sinister, we just felt it was time. This post explains it all: https://medium.com/@tonyszhou/postmortem-1b338537fabc

I believe that a more informed audience raises the bar for storytelling. That examining the techniques used to tell great stories makes your own writing better and your appreciation for the stories deeper. With Lessons from the Screenplay, I make videos that analyze movie scripts to examine exactly how and why they are so good at telling their stories. Part educational series and part love letter to awesome films, Lessons from the Screenplay aims to be a fun way to learn more about your favorite films and help us all become better storytellers. I’ll be releasing new videos every couple weeks, and taking suggestions about what scripts I should look at in future episodes.

Talking about video games, history, politics, empathy, and more — typically at the same time, always unpredictably. For more info, visit my website: JacobGeller.com
