Hey Patrons,

The third movie of the year is officially out!

I posted two videos on Joel Talks About Movies breaking it down!

I wanted to use my movie shot during The Oscars as my movie for March and did lots to make it still feel special.

Thanks to everyone who has checked it out, it's really lovely to see so many reactions to it.

I have something really special planned for April that I can't wait to bring to life. Thanks for the support, this year is just getting started!

Love, Joel Haver

The Text

A text becomes the focal point for the stragglers the day after a party. Featuring @Daxflame @TrentLenkarski @CalvinLaVallee @BennyBall Francesca Keller Shot during the 2024 Oscars, filmed entirely in one shot, no hidden cuts. Each year I run an event where I encourage filmmakers to shoot movies instead of watching The Oscars, here's a playlist of this year's submissions - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKtIcOP0WvJBdxa47waazkQDQYBLAQJLb&si=oPUBUW0XeASM-2lT Other Channels - Joel Talks About Movies - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTy7s81ii4fe4xNMGFNwYxA goodlongpee - https://www.youtube.com/c/goodlongpee Support - Patreon: https://patreon.com/joelhaver Paypal: https://bit.ly/2ZI7uff Merch - https://joelstuff.store Social - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joelhaver Twitter: https://twitter.com/joelhaver Drawings: https://www.instagram.com/joeldrawsandwriteshaver Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/joelhaver

wow, this was another great film, one of the best in my opinion, how is this possible

Loved this third release Joel! Cannot dismiss being immediately gripped by this story-line and pulled in by the characters and single take video feed The concept is explorative through multiple medium, Dax reading his Text the first time off the white board is as cryptic and dead pan. Having the other character re-live the text and interpret live in the forum. Dax & Joel conflict is strong and complicated, pushing Dax to the absolute limit is a good idea on screen. Must say really enjoyed Francesca's reads at the end and just breaking through the paranoid dynamic and giving clean outsider live takes. There is a formula here that is compelling akin to the modern Tragedy & Comedy mask being worn and explored.

I'm really loving the movies coming out every month. "The Text" is my favorite so far. I have a couple male friends where that subject matter hits way too hard. Specifically, why did you send that to anybody, let alone a woman that you're trying to convince you aren't a killer. Then to see the female reaction of "Oh you seem creepy, but that's nothing new to her. She's just going to ignore you forever now. You're good." Good job, and don't burn yourself out!

Took me some time to get around to watching this, really glad I did. Loved it, so funny and felt so honest.
