things that strike my fancy

In case you still haven’t had your fill of literary adaptations on YouTube, I’m launching a new series of micro-directing projects over at my personal channel, youtube.com/yulinisworking. This one’s a bit different, though.

Tentatively titling this directing series “I Didn’t Write This”. In which I adapt and direct excerpts of literature and poetry using visual metaphors and voiceover and whatever else I have on hand. Usually pretty things I found at flea markets. Basically one long commercial for why we read.

I’m out of taglines. New episodes on Fridays. Subscribe, maybe?

We shot the first 3-4ish episodes in one whirlwind filmmaking roadtrip day, featuring the voiceover/acting talents of the great seanpersaud and the always wonderful marykatewiles.

As I am usually a writer/director, I’m especially excited about this directing series because it’ll allow me to focus entirely on visual directing and really stretching those creative muscles in particular. It’s a bit different tonally from the heightened historical comedy brand we have at shipwreckedcomedy, but I hope fans of ATTV and KitR will find things they liked about my directing style in this series as well. Plus our source materials are excellent. My inner English lit fangirl is super pleased about this project.

Much love,
