My short film The Surface was released on YouTube. Many questioned my sanity in this plan, as it was not even on my channel. Why I did this? Because this film was made to be seen. I chose to partner with the CG Bros Channel, who have built an awesome channel audience of 1,000,000+ subscribers. It wasn't made to earn money, but to show the world the talents of all the wonderful cast/crew who dedicated thousands of hours on this project. Seeing the response thus far has been inspiring, for nothing motivates me more than knowing that the stories we tell actually move the audience who watches it to tears. If you have 20 minutes and good audio, go watch this little film and let me know what you think - Willem Kampenhout
