This weekend Mister and I watched a movie released on the YouTuber. It’s called “Kung Fury” and is a mere 31 minutes in length. (The link is here.) With over 18 million views, I am more than a little late to the party.
I’m telling you about this for a few reasons. It’s wacky. It’s funny. And I respect it. Respect, you ask? Yes. The writer / director / star of this piece made work for himself (and, I’m guessing, for his friends). Making work for oneself can be incredibly smart in this town. I admire it and, as I said, I respect it.
I heard the rights to this work have been sold to an industry player and there’s no telling what will come of that. Feature length production? TV/Cable show? I’ve no idea.
I encourage you to watch this half-hour piece. It is entertaining. And I am always, always, always down for a giggle.
