Approaching 10 million views...

I did a series of spots a few years ago for a Belgian phone company. They were rude, crude and lewd. Really. I loved them. We did 7 in 2 days. I shot them too. The budget was like 18 bucks. So this morning before the family awoke I was checking out a video on youtube that a friend sent me about this overly enthusiastic Korean drummer and for some reason on the little sidebar thing I see a frame from one of these spots. So of course always happy to see my work once again I click on it. OK I watch the spot and then I see that nearly... 10... million... people have seen it. Madre mia... friggin' hell...


So this brings up all sorts of issues... one... how can I get a piece of this... two... if 10 million people are looking at my work why do I feel so lonely... three... wouldn't it have been nice if the agency said good job little man, here's six pack of Belgian beer and we'll see you on the next one baby. See it here.


I am sure I will be yammer on about this in the near future. Like in 15 minutes or so.
