How I Made My FIRST Movie | Making UNSOUND!

[@D4Darious]

Everyone has their own story. Don't be afraid to tell yours! #Booya

[@finishthejourney4117]

Great to see you Back

[@ELJAGUAR]

thank you for showing us the process, really inspiring and to be honest, i have even less interest in film fests after your video. if yousplit the money you can make in internet nowadays vs money you spent, you will recover soon, also you can produce more and do more in my opinion. #booyah

[@robertoguido9249]

Thank you so much for sharing @D4Darious! You've helped me out a lot with your tips over the past year and I'm excited to see where life takes you man! You are very much appreciated in the KZbin community!

[@m4marceldev]

Wow! Amazing...thank you.

[@lizagonzalez6372]

You are amazing!

[@MrGimmix81]

Hey Darius! I just watched unsound . It was really good I think it easily supposed to be on netflix at least. Your story is inspiring and what you accomplished is remarkable. Keep up the good work! P.s if you need some good music for free for your future projects hit me up! Stay safe. G

[@mrstevenson2091]

Dope video, I just realised I watched the entire thing lol

[@MViews-zm9wh]

Great Inspiration

Hey Jordy, catch!

[@woodchuck2521]

HI!!!! IM SUBSCRIBED TO YOU

[@theampedlife]

I am so inspired by your story man! I’m an amputee, lost my leg doing extreme sport, with a hell of a story to follow. I’ve been wanting to document this, your video has given me the courage to go for it. Forever grateful to you 🙏

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

This along with the feature, is one of the BEST things I’ve seen on KZbin. Thank you Darious!

[@franivanmatakovic2419]

Nate's Film Tutorials it is! Super informative and fun to watch

[@cevxj]

Woo!

[@CrazyChaosClara]

100% agree with @@cevxj on this!!

[@surajsgayakwad3942]

Exactly....yes

[@1991yannic]

Come on Darious. Just set up a patreon. The film already has 40.000 views and if only 10.000 donate around a 10er you going to make the money back and have some cash flow for future projects. Everybody is asking for it and I think most of us would like to pay for your work and help you to keep going. Both the documentary and the film were fantastic!

[@johnallred3124]

yannic Galion I agree. I’m a patron for a few folks already. I’d love to help support you.

[@TrollGamerStudios]

Can we set up a crowdfunding campaign so Darius can recoup his money or something? He really deserves it.

Kolya-The-Vodka-Guzzler You've left multiple worthless comments on this video, pathetic.

[@CZsWorld]

My biggest question was how you did the Walgreens scene and you answered it! Thanks for this DBritt!

[@TheDadVlog]

That's it. I'm making a documentary. Don't try and stop me.

[@KennethWayne]

I had NO idea just how much you've been through and worked through. This is creativity and grit in its most *raw* form. I find that there's a trend of you just understanding how hard things are. You don't underestimate a task and I think that allows you to go into it with more reasonable expectations than the average person which allows you to carry on far beyond when most other people would have given up. Seeing just how much time, effort, blood, sweat and tears that you've put into this has made things that I've been agonizing over feel so much smaller. I feel like I can walk away and start my life over with new eyes and perspective after watching this. Here are my main takeaways aside from the fantastic edits, storyline and storytelling. 1. Things won't usually be on a silver platter, if they are *great* but don't expect it. 2. Find a worthy goal and steadily work it through to completion. If a wall comes up, climb it. If it becomes harder than you initially anticipated to climb, stop. adjust. Climb harder. 3. When those thoughts come up inside; the ones telling you it's time to quit; Don't listen. Keep going. 4. Sometimes even when you give your best and cover *all* your bases it *still* doesn't work (The DVDs that didn't play when sent off even after being checked). Don't let it stop you. Keep going. My big overall takeaway: K E E P. G O I N G. Thanks D4. For your service and hard work. I have a new way to attack my problems now.

[@sumyunguy7645]

Darious.. that was awesome man. I want to thank you, your mom, your crew and everyone else for giving us a peek into your life, your struggles and how you overcame them. And for inspiring me personally in everything that i do with filmmaking and the festifal circut. I love and respect how transparent you are about everything.. what you see is what you get. You are half the reason i dont lose faith in my craft, or myself. And i cannot say thank you enough. Keep speaking from the heart and stay on your path with your head held high. UNSOUND will write its own story in the history books and i know this isnt the last great work from Darious Britt. You are awesome brother, much love. Id be honored to meet you one day and call you a friend. Might have to do a big Sad Wookie!! Haha Booya!!

[@he.smile_]

I clicked on this to put it in my Watch Later list bcuz I needed to do other stuff but it was so captivating that I watched it all anyway

[@franklingforce]

💯

[@arnoldalien602]

Same

[@leedeenee]

Take this off and submit this documentary to film festivals. I am sure you would the tier 1 festivals

[@chrisg4229]

F2.8 Film I agree, I actually watched this start to finish before watching the movie.

[@OrangeAceGaming]

He won like 2-3 awards for this documentary a few months ago. He also won like 5 other awards for the movie itself. So yeah, you were right. Lol

[@KarimJovian]

I loved watching this. Thank you. I usually watch your vids in the middle of my editing breaks

[@laurentyoum]

When I saw that the video was over an hour long I thought "I'm going to watch a bit now and the rest some other time"... and here I am 1h 15min 53sec later. I loved it and will definitely watch Unsound. Great work.

[@Vader417]

Your work ethic, hand's on attitude and positive energy never ceases to amaze me. It's mad inspiring. I can't wait to see your next film. I'm in the middle of writing a feature that I'm going to direct, and this documentary made me feel better about embracing the long and sometimes difficult journey making a film. Kudos to you good sir!!

[@Antagonist90]

Where is the donation link? Man, you need add post release crowdfunding link. There is some people who wants support you!

[@CRMayerCo]

You’re a good man, Darious. Thanks for sharing your story. Wonderful film!

[@Alecgodwin]

Wow! This is Amazing revelation! The journey! ....You shot UNSOUND with Canon 60D and Gopro? Its looking better than some films shot in 4k. I paused the editng of my short film to watch this doc and i am glad i saw this before i finished..going back to editing with fresh perspective and fire, thank you Darious for sharing 'the story and the journey'.

[@robertoguido9249]

$120 for a needle!? Thats wild man lol, but it was a great shot tho

[@quinnk8572]

great *shot*

[@chanceproductionsfilms]

@Kolya-The-Vodka-Guzzler art.

[@litteralyjustsam5262]

@Kolya-The-Vodka-Guzzler Eh, you keep on going on comments and replying to them with stuff like this, you're the stupid one getting offended over nothing. You're pathetic.

[@litteralyjustsam5262]

On the note of the shot though, it was a very good shot with the needle.

[@MaxNovakTutorials]

amazing story !

[@AidenKinder]

Do you have a patreon?

[@knoptop]

I’ve been waiting 7 years to see this!... I just didn’t realize it until now. Thanks for sharing the work that you, your family and friends have invested so much time into.

[@katojuakhil9277]

Knoptop your videos are awesome keep going

[@margotdaley6683]

I'm as impressed with your behind- the- scene -journey as I was watching your film. Inspiring Darious!

[@alexakate]

LOVE THIS. on year two of making my first ever real production (a web series, not a feature length film or anything) but it definitely is a huge change from making weekly youtube videos lol. this really is resonating with me so far.

[@mouhamedsall4551]

lexamazing hey me too im making à à Web séries that's cool

[@sakeriyasaleh4820]

I came from Austin

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

I’ve waited for this ALL day

[@DEEKAYMP3]

hey dude your an awesome camera operator

[@janochsner3214]

Came here from Austin, did watch the whole doku. Great work, man!

[@luishfims]

WOW!!!! you had me running through a lot of different emotions watching this. Darious I became a bigger fan of your work and I appreciate the fact you provided us with a story about what you are going through which a lot of youtubers don't do. You are amazing and thank you for sharing. Hopefully we meet one day. To steal one of your lines...Luis oooouuuttt ;)

[@curtisjudd]

Moving!

[@BadKarma714]

I loved the film so much it hit me i have mental illnesses Bipolar PTSD manic depression it opened my eyes to see how my illness affects others you are a good son and your bringing awareness to your struggles.your an awesome man I am glad I saw it I have been a long time subscriber thank you for your film as for your mom she should know that her illness is not her fault half the time she probably does not know what she is doing I sometimes zone off into myself. I will pray for her and you bro.

[@kmal16]

This is the best documentary on indie filmmaking I've seen thus far. This documentary goes into so many details of the whole process of an idea (that hits home directly with your mother) going to script, then onto set, with the actors, the acting,, the lights, the locations, more lights, then the editing, post editing, re-editing, re-mixing, reshooting scenes, getting the film mixed at a larger scale studio, reviewing and having another showing, this doc goes absolutely into so many heart wrenching moments and details that I can't see this piece not making it to Sundance or Cannes and making it to the Universities, this is absolutely a must see for all film students and it should be part of the University curriculum. This is outstanding work, and watching you retell your struggles, and the realities of getting your mom's blessings, woow! is all I can say. You carry the essence of narrative and storytelling in your bones, and it shows at every part of the way.

[@Taldrogo]

Oh, man, you are amazing! You started even before you were ready and that is the best thing. Loved the fact that you took acting classes. This film took a lot of time but great things do take time. I am writing my first feature film and this video is a huge inspiration . Thanks!

[@DiogoStuart]

I was already subscribed but Austin insisted I came back here. :)

[@KarrGalaxyStudios]

As an aspiring writer, film maker & story teller.. I am moved by your perseverance and sacrifice both professionally and personally for the creation of something that will help others and the struggles you went through over 7 years to get there! There are so many moments in this that you could expand upon in future KZbin videos. Going to watch Unsound now. Thanks for sharing your journey! Truly inspiring.

[@diego_alcman]

Finally! Cheers from Mexico! 🇲🇽

[@sousalarson6858]

This was an amazing watch. Thank you for sharing! On a side note, I would love to hear more about your experience learning about and composing your own score. Any chance you could do a few videos on music?

[@EVOlutionHTC4g]

Thank you for sharing your passion, your struggles, and your real life story about you and your mom. I almost felt broke just thinking how you went into debt to make this movie! Sometimes you just can't put a price on a passion project.

[@azae00Vids]

you still inspire me in 2020!!

[@haruruben]

50:00 I like how you stay positive through this whole thing. You are following your own advice, keeping up with it and move on to the next one. Very inspiring.

[@valleyfilmsuk]

This is absolutely incredibly Darious! I originally intended on watched the first 5minsutes or so just out of interest and got hooked to finish the entire film. Fantastic job dude!

[@DrE2555]

As a student filmmaker, you're a huge inspiration, my friend.

[@AtomicusPrime]

Jesus. Only 18 minutes in and this has been priceless. Damn man, thank you Darious.

[@frehand3067]

this is one of the most compelling documentaries i’ve seen, genuinely. You have such a gift when it comes to storytelling.

[@TSGEnt]

I'm about halfway through this video. I've got a film in my head and about half on paper. I consider myself a pretty tenacious person. After watching you, I feel like such a snowflake. I don't feel defeated, I feel challenged and realize where my bar needs to be. BTW, that prof of yours is priceless to help with that festival strategy. After seeing that I realize, I need to find a really good publicist, or connect with your prof! ;) -Back to watching this video.

[@MarioMarku]

MAD RESPECT FOR YOU DARIOUS.

[@MarwanBelbaraka1]

This is sooo inspirational

[@Solanaar]

I'm 20 minutes in and this is already a rollercoaster of emotions. I am amazed by your story and dedication.

[@AngelGarcia-dj4kw]

seeing how hard you worked on this is truly amazing. Such an inspiration. Keep working and doing your thing! You’re awesome!

[@danielchateau4083]

I saw the film. And I have to say it is poignant, groundbreaking, affecting, beautiful, and truthful. The fact that this film was not a financial success is clearly not the fault of the creators, it is the fault of the people who control the industry. Either they don't notice a great story when they see it, or they REFUSE to promote films that shed light on social issues. Sometimes it's not a question of if a film will make money or increase subscribers, it's a question of the power dynamic in our society. They are highly prejudice. They know that if they promote films like this, people's thinking will be changed and we will become a more egalitarian society

[@hisham1720]

Not really dude....I think all they care about is money, if they thought the movie would make them money they will buy it in a heart beat regardless...but I mean they more than often wrong so yeah

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Really great documentary!!! So inspiring

[@WEDurhamPE]

D, As an old guy who dreams he could make a movie, this was one of the best videos I’ve ever watched! But the fact that you were doing it while taking care of your mom? You are a hero! You make great movies too. I pray the Lord blesses you!!!

[@larryFWD]

couldn't stop watching this...simply excellent!

[@mychalsimmons4177]

I had to come back again to watch enjoy and most of all to Learn how it’s done!

[@nickyjuice1273]

This documentary made me emotional and want to tell you great job

[@websitesthatneedanem]

What feedback about the film are you getting so far?

[@youtubestolemyoriginalhandle]

This documentary of the making of Unsound is a beautifully depicted heartwarming and poetic tribute to the love you have for your mom as well as the deep and complicated relationship you have with her. Thank you for being so raw and candid. Your body of work as well as your resilience have me awestruck. So inspiring!

[@ВячеславТетерин-г7ь]

Came here to watch this masterpiece again. As great as it was the day I watched it on release. Literally one of the best vids on youtube and one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Thank you D4, you're the closest person to a filmmaking teacher I've ever had.

[@CubixRube]

Why is there already 1 dislike?

[@sumyunguy7645]

Cubix Rube because people are dicks... cant stand seeing someone else doing what they love.. bleghhh go Darious!!! Much love

[@robertoguido9249]

I think they were trying to click the like button and accidentally sneezed, pressed the dislike, and banged their heads on their computer screens and knock themselves out :)

[@ceciliagarcialira4991]

I can’t believe I find myself coming back to this video almost once a month. I guess it’s just inspiring to see other people...idk. Just gotta say. Darious, you really inspire me

[@lmspikes]

Bravo! I wouldn't go as far as you did. I'm impressed.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great BTS of an excellent film, Unsound. Congratulations on getting it out there to be seen. I loved it. I think you'll become successful and pay yourself back for the movie a thousand times over, if not more. Cheers.

[@karlbell9312]

[@galvanizingtechniques1111]

[@azae00Vids]

I love your new content ...however it's vids like this that helps keep me motivated... I love your work!

[@ShaneFlaherty]

The chunk of this that is dedicated to festival submissions is amazing info. So much more grueling than I expected. Thank you so much for sharing this story!

[@herbertmaston6057]

Great staff, I loved Unsound and it was good to have to see your actual work after learning a lot from your KZbin channel. Am working on a number of projects and and I keep hearing your voice on all the tips from all the videos I have watched from your channel. Thanks D4D.

[@maxsnel5705]

First! Been waiting all day for this one!

[@TheBigGSN5]

"We give each of your films serious consideration." Yeah, of how far they think they can throw the disc. These big festivals are scammy. I think a lot of submissions get a quick look at by an intern, at best. The rejection is just a standard form letter, there's no evidence they looked at anything, not even a sentence or phrase from a reviewer saying like "Amateurish, but idea has potential."

[@jayesq685]

I am not old enough to go to film school so instead I watch you Edit: the film is awesome such a great story

[@larsosejohansen]

Jay Esq Keep on making films trying out different things!

[@jayesq685]

Larse Ose-Johansen thank you

[@jessicaribot2288]

Why should I go to film school when I got you.:)

[@zanedaystudios168]

This film is truly a work of art. The composition and story is great.

[@Koliflower]

you are a great inspiration and a wonderful example for young filmmakers like myself. Thank you.

[@SlothMotions]

OOO I have to watch this

[@stefanomaggio5109]

so this guy spent like 30 000 $ in 7 years on this film with no professional known actors and made 0$ from it? feels bad man. But there must be another way.

[@SlothMotions]

Wow, quite the story!

[@camilofarkas6965]

Wow! There is guys out there that spend the same budget getting a red and lens and put out some vhs and 8mm film mattes effects in order to make their travel “films” look “cinematic” and this guy make a feature real cinema film with that budget and a canon dslr please give this guy an award what a hustler!

[@kibirigemwiseman5021]

Thank you so much for this, Wow!!! You are great man .. Honestly, I am frustrated , seeing all the work you put in.... It's so huge but the truth. Thank you Darious.
