Chris (he/him) Director of WORLDS (2024) Current Projects — Youtube: Devnul / Dark Harvest | New Coke | Kokoro Space Academy | Spotify: Radio Free Godzilla
Here's the trailer for my first feature length horror film, WORLDS! Been working on this for two years and it's been such a labor of love. It's entering the 2024 festival circuit. If you like found footage or docu-horror, I hope you check it out!
I spent seven months working on this deep dive of the Geico Cavemen — I interview the original actors, discuss the failed TV show, and uncover some lost media! It’s available now!
Wow. This is apocalyptically horrible for the future of YouTube. YT will no longer act as an archive of content. We are going to lose SO MUCH internet history. Esp devastating for ARGs and unfiction— any account that is a finished work of art will be deleted if not kept active
I am happy to say that I solved the mystery of who was the voice actor for Cinnamon in the Apple Jacks commercials. New video dropped, it was a lot of work to get this one out so quickly lol
This isn’t just a series of films, this is an event. I am unbelievably proud to be a small part of
@AlexHera_
’s in-depth history of not only Slender Man as a phenomenon, but internet horror, early social media, storytelling, myth making, and community. You have to check it out
I am so proud to announce "Slenderverse: A Documentary Film Series", three films chronicling the untold history of Slenderman. The first film premieres this Friday, 6/14, at 4pm PST.
I hope you're as excited as I am.

This is an absolutely incredible doc. A definitive history of the Slender Man that explores so many interesting topics, including Marble Hornets, EMH, the blogs, and more. And it’s just part ONE of THREE!! Go watch it NOW!!!!! Already seen it? WATCH IT AGAIN!!
This Monday I’ll be having a production meeting for a certain thirteen year old web series that has been on hiatus for years that may be getting a finale this year perhaps
If you’re a fan of David Lynch, you should know the work of Maya Deren — one of the most influential women in experimental & independent film. She made films in the 1940s in her mid 20s that are incredible to this day. She was young and brilliant and extremely visionary
DARK HARVESTERS OF THE WORLD… UNITE!! On the second installment of
@AlexHera_
’s brilliant doc series, we’ll be taking a deep dive into Dark Harvest and a number of second wave Slenderverse series. (It’s also a beautiful journey through a 2010s internet community.) GET HYPE!!
"Slenderverse: An Artistic Movement", Episode II of my Slenderman docuseries, premieres in 24 HOURS.
Come learn the truth behind the greatest artistic movement of the 2010's...
Kinda shocked that there haven't been more video essays/mini-documentaries on the Slenderverse at this point. I feel like it's the kind of niche fandom that a channel like Izzzyzzz would love to cover, and it's certainly had its fair share of scandals, besides the cool content.
My newest YouTube video just dropped!! 💫 Check it out here: I talk about how Pop Tarts ripped off
@donhertzfeldt
and totally stole his style for their early 2000s marketing campaign
So sad and disgusted. I considered him a friend, and it’s so disheartening to me to see how someone can treat you so well personally and so many others like trash. Not to mention be a total creep and abuse those who look up to you. Disgusting. 1/?
Y’all... I have begun work on my first original horror project in years. It’s a found footage/docu-horror inspired by films like Noroi: the Curse and Lake Mungo. First: time to fill up this Spooky Book™️ with spooky things.
Creators: you have a responsibility as an artist and as a person with influence to act appropriately. It should go without saying, but when people look up to you, whether you asked for it or not, that is not an opportunity to use them to boost your own ego. 2/?
DARK HARVESTERS... Your moment has arrived!! It’s time to donate to Trans Lifeline and vote for Dark Harvest’s Tall Man! Pledge your allegiance to the Order and support a great cause (ascendance to godhood) If we win round four I will guarantee a Dark Harvest finale in 2024 😂

I think it’s funny how Miyazaki makes beautiful and wholesome art but is personally pretty harsh and cynical, and Junji Ito makes horrifying, disturbing art but personally seems quite friendly and sweet.
It’s probably pretty easy to manipulate people who look up to you that much. It’s your duty as a fucking moral human being NOT TO DO THAT. I don’t even know where I’m going with this rant. I’m just so tired. It sucks seeing your image of a friend shatter. It was all a lie.
Today I become a YouTube partner! I’m SO thankful for the positive reception my content has gotten and all the kind words I’ve received (especially the folks who say my channel is “criminally underrated”) Thank you all so so much!! Here’s to the future! ☺️
@WireRacing
Reminds me how in my senior yr of HS I did my final project as a video. me and a classmate made an Office-style comedy of JFK and Nixon as roommates after the CIA resuscitated JFK and kept the two of them on a secret island. It had many disrespectful jokes. We got an A.

Slender Man’s birthday is coming up soon and I have never seen anyone really truly celebrate it; so me and
@dash_k_dot
have scrimped and saved and we’re gonna throw him a little potluck this year. You’re all invited!

@CompetePasta
Literally even Mario Party understands you can give an “Are you sure?” prompt if the transaction seems out of the ordinary, like when you decline a star. Wild idea, I know (They just don’t want their drivers getting used to getting paid well, they might start expecting more.)
@RonBeehive
Similar to many retailers, the Chipotle app includes safeguards around tipping to avoid human error, as well as fraud, to ensure its guests provide their intended dollar amount. All tips through the app go to the delivery driver.
I find it SO weird how anime characters are so arbitrarily young when they look and act much older. Like... just why? Why ya gotta make it weird? Why does it not make ANY sense? The characters will look like this and then be like “I’m in eighth grade, and I’m 14 years old.”
Dark Harvest was like a third party candidate in a US election 😔 appreciate all the votes tho, and more importantly we were able to raise over $10,000 for Trans Lifeline! That’s incredible and will truly change some people’s lives. Thanks everyone who participated!
I can finally share the secret! My first feature film — the docu-horror/found footage WORLDS — will be premiering at this year’s Panic Fest!!! This is like a dream come true! It’s an honor to be included in this incredible festival
Panic Fest's first wave of programming includes Heather Langenkamp in-person for the 40th anniversary of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, plus Eduardo Sanchez and Michael Williams for the 25th anniversary of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.
I have an uncanny ability to find YouTubers while they’re small, think “Yeah, they’re gonna blow up” and sub to them when they’re at less than 10K subs, only to watch them blow up into massive icons of the internet. So far: Hasan Piker, Arlo, Jack Stauber, nickisnotgreen
@NM_NickNocturne
Very happy to see this response. People need to be aware of this so that Adam can’t come back to the community, because that kind of influence would only lead to more victims. The pattern of abusive behavior is shockingly consistent. Signed, a former friend and collaborator
What was in the water in 1998, when not one, but TWO animation studios decided to release films about bugs with themes of class warfare and revolution. If only the people had harnessed the cartoon bug-fueled late 90s energy of political unrest
Currently exporting the final cut of my first feature film, WORLDS. I genuinely cannot even explain how proud I am of this film and how many unbelievably talented people came together to work on this. I’ll post updates soon. So hype to share this with everyone!
Follow-up: seems Google isn’t deleting accts w YouTube vids, but doesn’t change the fact that it’s fucked up that a corp could remove years of art and history on a whim— its time to start archiving things that you care about
Honestly, if I never made my Slender Man web series (Dark Harvest) my life would be unimaginably different now. I wouldn’t have met many of my closest friends, met my fiancé on the film set of a collab with those friends, and wouldn’t be at my current job or city
can you point to one single decision you made that lead you on basically your whole life path? If I hadn't made a twitter in 2009 I never would have like actually talked to any furries, I wouldn't have been inspired to change careers from science to design.
Last night I completed the rough cut of my first feature film. Been working on this thing for two years, and it’s amazing to see how it’s all coming together! Hoping to make everyone involved proud. Stay tuned for more updates, there will be many once it’s actually done.
@TheKavernacle
This is such a reasonable, valid take that it’s honestly depressing people take such issue with it. Idk why people are so obsessed with celebrities and rich people that they don’t think critically about the situation at all, and just bask in the glow of polished PR.
Hoyeon Jung, Squid Game star, reveals in a recent interview to Vogue Korea that lately she’s been obsessed with YouTube channel “DEVNUL.”
“I just think it’s something the world needs right now, whenever I watch it my mood changes for the better"
Upon hearing that Elon Musk is trying to buy Twitter, I wholeheartedly agree this site must go the way of Tumblr — devalue it by blocking all brands and turning random threads into raunchy furry RPs at every conceivable opportunity until advertisers hate this place
I watched End of Evangelion with friends last night in a theater and the abrupt cut to “The End” after the final scene and the lights coming back on is one of the most surreal movie going experiences I’ve ever had. You have no time to process. It’s a punch in the gut. Incredible.

What are the chances of that? I know the LDP is incredibly powerful and Japan is often thought of as a one party state abroad. Has the LDP lost a lot of popularity?
Anti-immigration is always based in racism. I’m the descendant of “illegal” immigrants but these people would never question my right to exist in this country because my ancestors were from Czechoslovakia and Sweden instead of Mexico or Guatemala. It’s simply dehumanization.
I was like this with friends in high school because we all had deep seated insecurities and sincerity felt vulnerable.
I love my friends and I like telling them how awesome they are. I have little patience for ironic “bullying” these days.
Friends bully the shit out of each other. Relentlessly.
If I witness a friend circle that's nothing but a compliment party I'm immediately on high alert, none of those mfs are real.
pretty annoyed by the fact that all these WW3 memes (aside from being obscenely tone deaf) are unintentionally warmongering — btw by comparing Putin to Hitler, and Ukraine to 1939 Czechoslovakia, you are implicitly encouraging US involvement in the war (which is BAD. VERY BAD!!)

Very pissed that the guy that came to fix an overhead light in my kitchen literally refused to wear a mask after I politely asked him to. Anti-maskers are truly such rude assholes. That’s like refusing to take your shoes off in someone else’s house, only worse. Who does that

YouTube gave me one the best birthday gifts of all yesterday! My Devnul channel just passed 5000 subs, and my Pepsiman commercial video is blowing up, quickly approaching 250K views!! This is totally wild, and I’m hoping that the success of that video will help the channel!
Very happy to announce I’ve finally met a big personal goal — 10K subs on my YouTube channel!! Next stop: 50K!! Okay that one may take a little while 😅 hopefully my upcoming massive GEICO Caveman doc will help
