A Story About Friendship and Loss

[@MaxReisinger]

Good morning! It's 8:34am, April 30th, 2022 as I type this on my computer for the first time as a 19-year-old. Yes, I'm 19 now?! How crazy is that... (: This film has been one of the most challenging projects I've worked on. A video that I thought would take me one week to edit turned into a 2-month long "headache" of sorts. A lot of the editing and story structure is a bit experimental and a bit "anti-KZbin." There's no hook, no voice overs, just an experience captured in a way that reflects how I felt. The funny thing is, I actually don't know if I want a lot of my future videos to be edited in this style, however, I'm proud of giving myself the freedom to experiment and to try pushing my boundaries further. I think that's beautiful and something I want to continue pursuing throughout this next year. I've been journaling a lot more these past few months and it's been really facsinating to watch my values and ideas of how to live my life evolve, be challenged through experience, and surprise me in unexpected ways. I've been asking myself more often: Why not give yourself the gift of experimentation? to say, I might completely fail at this, but at least I gave myself the opportunity to try it. Why not put myself out there? Why not smile at people when they walk by instead of moving past them with no acknowledgment to their existence? Go ask that person out, who cares if they say no, at least you made an effort to make your life more interesting and fun. At least you're going out there and doing something, creating something, and living. As I grow older, I feel my adolenceent nostalgia clock ticking faster and faster. I feel as if time will run out sooner than later and I'll snap my fingers and be an adult with kids. That's great and all and I cannnnnnot wait to be a dad someday, but I want to find ways to slow time down by being fully present in moments. I believe life is a collection of small beautiful moments and this film was an attempt to capture as many of them as possible. I hope you have a great week, Much love, Max (:

Happy Birthday! I've been watching your videos since you were a 15 year old in France with your mother and sister.

You have a new friend .... Very nice ... Very well ...

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

People in Argentina are SO nice. I once lost my passport, and ended up staying in a stranger's house for 2 weeks. They didn't ask anything in return. After going back to Japan, I sent them some presents. We still keep in touch via FB.

The music composition in this is so underrated!

Fantastic video, Max! Happy 19th birthday ❤

[@delfinaacevedo8965]

Hi :) im from buenos aires and i just discovered your channel. Your videos are so kind and real, you make me feel something i don’t know how to describe.. but i just want to say thank you for that and for being such an open and vulnerable soul. Hope you enjoyed your time here. Lots of love 💛

[@itskirtii]

I also got those same vibes❤

Also Ryan spitting out facts with that head towel is such a mood.

[@amlocaylocay3874]

Time flies so fast I still cannot believe that you're 19 now. I subscribed to your channel when you were 16, cannot believe that 3 years have already passed. I am just here to remind you Max that no matter what you do, we will stay here to support you. Belated happy birthday! I am excited for part 2 because I really love penguins too.

[@wholesomesimon]

love this max, man was downbad but still came through with the video

[@nataliamiranda6031]

I'm from Argentina and I'm very happy to see this! Si vienes de nuevo, te recomiendo visitar provincias como Jujuy! La cultura es muy diferente e igual al mismo tiempo! 🇦🇷😊

[@subscriber6485]

As a Dutch 🇳🇱 person who has been to multiple cities in Argentina 🇦🇷. I absolutely agree. I even prefer Jujuy because of the more South American culture.

I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷 and look at your videos they are wonderful, I feel a peace, a fun, my anxiety going away, and by coincidence I left my country of origin and came to live in Portugal.. lol And this exchange thing is a magical thing because you learn a huge amount from all this... My goal is to improve my English and apply for a job in the UK ☮️

Adventures with strangers indeed make us feel the alive. This is great max

[@pratyushsingh9]

After watching Your videos I realised one thing that documenting your journey is very very important.

[@PaulTiberghien]

wanted to drop a quick comment to let you know that this was SO refreshing to watch. it felt like stream of consciousness writing but in video form haha. loved the music choice and the slow mo shots with the added vignette - gave it an intriguing vibe!

[@santiaguin6]

Max, I was just with my good friend Ludwig in McPherson, KS and he introduced me to your channel. As an argentine, I really enjoyed watching the every-day simple lifestyle portrayed here by you. Hopefully Michael made you guys try some argentine asado! Congratulations from a new subscriber, look forward to see more!

Wishing you a lot of health and optimism in your life including your friend Ryan. Ryan has always been a very deep and honest person. Finally the video is very good and meaningful.Finally, try to stay healthy Max.

[@rajasimuley367]

So i put this video in my watch later list and then waited till my exams were done I mean yeah they are not, but I was continuously putting this vid back. I have stressed very much on the fact that these videos make me feel things and like I seriously sit here and go into deep thinking for days after watching the videoes. Max has come a looongggg way and I mean this video made me feel stuff too but it was different and better this time, it was a new feeling that didn't put me into a 3-day long deep thinking stage 😂😂 kudos to you bro I will follow your journey over here through all the ups and downs, I love you and wanna thank you for making me feel shit. PLUS DUDE, COME TO INDIA!!! I WOULD LOVE TO SHOW YOU AROUND IN MY CITY.

[@nicholasscaping4528]

Happy birthday Max Very enjoyable vid, Def noticed a less "Scripted" aspect. Totally caught a more realistic vibe. Thank you, Be well 👍☺✌

Max, I used to ride my bike with you to elementary school, although i doubt you remember. It's really crazy finding you on KZbin with half a million subscribers now.

omg max!! you just keep getting better at storytelling and the whole production is ahh i absolutely love it it flows really well and i am watching this vid at 1 am laying in bed feeling sad and overwhelmed, but the way you put the video so well makes me wanted to tune in and focus to the story i felt way calmer now after watching this video thanks for being authentic too it’s just so nice well done! excited to watch the second episode for sure :)

[@callmehamzasadiq]

Nice

[@tabethtadoum]

I feel like it was just yesterday we were all plotting to make you a video for your 16th birthday (16 or 17 idk lol) I was only 15 at the time and now I'm 17 and about to turn 18 in September, what the heck time flies by soo fast. I loved the editing style in this video, people around the world are so genuine I think that's the best part of traveling. The film was so casual and it felt like we were there with you. I'll be stepping foot in South America for the first time next week actually, in Santo Domingo which is in the Dominican Republic for a tournament. Won't have time to chase penguins but hopefully sometime soon haha. Anyway awesome film Max. Also the Samsung sponsor sheesh 👀
