For RealStill, a self-made thirty second video clip in 2019, was a cinematic masterpiece in style and content. Its popularity is obvious, but the subtext of a guy going to work, his truck breaks down, he whips out a cell phone and a skateboard, then redeems the typical blue-collar world’s problems of struggle from lack of funds, and, momentarily, transcending it.
What’s wild is that non-professionals are doing some of the best work around in movies. And his timing, was fine, just as NFTs revved up and established social networks for giving donations had been established for years.
This guy couldn’t be more real and American. That feather tattooed on the side of his head, signifies where he comes from in the first place, and is so fitting that it strikes a universally shared nerve of appreciation.
