Mass Appeal’s series SUPER is a YouTube gem that deserves more recognition. Each episode, they interview a celebrity, and ask them what their super powers would be. Then they animate it. Eddie Huang’s Human Panda deserves a feature film. Princess Nokia’s Sista Girl too.

Wack in Black

Wack in Black

A decidedly lo-fi version of AC/DC’s classic Back in Black, performed by French group The Wackids, three musicians known for playing their concerts entirely on kid’s toys and other cheap musical instruments. Here they are playing some Joan Jett and Metallica.

How CRTs Worked

Not all stories are created equal. But some storytellers are so talented, it doesn’t matter what their story is. It’s all in how they tell it. Case in point, writer and director Trevor Anderson’s autobiographical short about a photo of him and his father.
