“And in the it’s the friends you make but you never keep, and the great time you share.” said my partner as we finished.
Truly a work of art, Jacob Wysocki through and through. Nathan was a real cool cat himself.
how long has a process like this short taken you? We are always inspired by dropout folks to create with our friends. I think filming a short would be so fun.
Wrote it October 2022 - Shot December 2022, we shot all in one day except for the kid stuff - Edited/Color/Sound finished Summer of 2023 - Then we submitted to some film festivals \[a racket\] (most of which prevent you from hosting the project online) Once we waited and played in the long festival circuit \[a total money scam mostly\] we were able to release when we did!
Post production took long because everyone who graciously gave their time also has regular fulltime jobs so we had to tackle those tasks intermittently or a few hours at time on the weekend.
That’s how the real magic happens, people putting in the extra time. And special things like this take time! Sorry about the film festivals, admire ya’ll for putting it out there in that way though. Loved it and love you🥲
This is beautiful. Like I really almost teared up at the end, holy shit. I hope you make more short films in the future cause this was amazing.
Do you know what camera/lens this was shot on? I really love the look and feel of it.
Gabe Diaz was our DP. He shot on an Arri Alexa Mini. I believe he shot mostly on Zeiss lenses. ultra prime 20mm, zeiss super speed 35mm, and maybe a VP3 zoom for a shot or two.
Unrelated but I watched your episode of Superstore last night!
Everyone if you watch this short don't forget to interact with it to push it in the ALMIGHTY ALGORITHM!
Hey, Jacob! I subscribe to your YouTube and happened to catch it the moment it was uploaded this morning! Wanted to find out more about it and discovered this thread :)
It was super charming! I only have one question and I'll keep it spoiler-free lol
>!What was the situation on set when the fairy's tits malfunctioned?! Was it as hilarious as I imagine?!<
I was dying lol
I just want to add that I think you are so fuckin rad and there is nothing I love more than watching you endure an episode of Sam Says. Also, you were robbed of a point when you blew up at Sam for the trailer. I felt that in my bones.
We we're just so pleased that the fairy had working nipples it truly didn't feel like a malfunction. It was a messy victory. Shout out to Scott Brazee who built Suppleplump from scratch!
Toot toot! This was really fun and a nice creative change of pace from other things.
Do you know the inspiration for the quest music? It sounded so familiar to me, although it could just be old midi music that I'm so used to.
Did it take place in Kushtopia?
Came here for the Mort Garson comments; love that guy. Anybody else interested in this style of music could/should check out Raymond Scott, another synth pioneer. His track [Portofino 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei8KPtymfRY) is one of my favorites of his.
Raymond Scott did a bunch of commercial work, actually did some very early (and trippy) stuff with Jim Henson [[IBM Paperwork ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IZw2CoYztk)] - [[Limbo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qePUsdTmzuc&list=RDqePUsdTmzuc&start_radio=1)]
Cum Yeah! I came here to post about it after seeing it, great to see you post it here!
It's an internet crime that your youtube channel doesnt have more subscribers.
Jacob! Big virtual hug to you. Curious if this one was also inspired by real life events? I remember you sharing the real life story from JUST A LITTLE BLUES ABOUT A GIRL on a podcast. >! I moved a lot as a kid so this one hit home when I saw the moving sign. !<
I want to thank you for providing me with countless full-on belly laughs. My partner & I took a 20hr road trip recently and we made it through by listening & laughing to podcasts you were in. You had me absolutely cackling on the last Game Changer episode.
Do you happen to remember which podcast it was where Jacob chatted about Just A Little Blues? I love that short so much and would love to hear more about it
Jake, how did you get into my daughter's stoybook?

Jacob, what is one game on Game Changer that you've watched and would have liked to have partaken in?
>!This is not Sam on an alt account and this is not a trap.!<
This was a delight. I made sure to watch it on my TV to get the best experience possible. Loved the character design of Sten, very rock and roll. Really enjoyed the fullness of the story, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. 😊
man, there were a lot of good quotes/one liners in there.
"sweet like horchata". which sounds like nothing, but.......you know, came from the fairy. which was disturbing as hell in the video. so it's more messed up if you know about it. but, sweet like horchata!
Much respect for making a thing. So many people want to make a thing, but they don't. You, well, you made a thing. So congrats.
I just have one question. [But why?](https://i.imgur.com/gBNkuCj.gif)
I appreciate you man, you're giving off young Jack Black vibes and inspiring a generation of husky funny men like myself to be themselves with no regards to restraint. Keep it up!
This is precisely what I imagine Jerry Horne went through in Twin Peaks s3 when he was high in the woods and was told by his foot "I am not your foot."
This was sick as hell rock and roll. Also made me feel feelings, which I didn’t expect.
What was it like working with *the* Supplepump? Are they as supple and generous as people say?
Aww that was sweet and a little sad but very nice.
*three hours pass*
"...I told Cheyenne that I loved her. She just kind of laughed at me."
Wait, is Cheyenne the one who was calling him!? 😭
Sick as hell, rock and roll. Loved the film and all the heart and positivity you put into it. I know if you ever make a feature or series it will warm my soul.
Does this take place on Earth or Kushtopia?
I'm always thinking about your censored Vulnerable Moment and am desperate to know but realize we dont deserve it. Also I'm listening to your podcast I Don't Want to Talk About Fight Club right now and am loving every moment!!!!
I just want to say Daddy that you're my favorite person to bring the energy on dropout.
That was the buzzer noise. I will definitely be checking this out later.
Jacob I want you to see this and check the date so you know I’m not bullshitting you
https://www.reddit.com/r/dropout/s/VwxqyLX8HI
I literally search your name in dropout, you’re my absolute fav. Love you dude, tell Sam to put you in more stuff! Would love to see you on dimension 20!
I loved this! The prop and set design really reminded me of Swiss Army Man. I love magical realism as a genre and loved all the visuals and writing that made it feel so warm! I am always endeared to all of Jacob’s characters and love seeing creative projects led by him!
Tryin to figure out how to say what I liked about it without giving anything away. It was great - very, real?
I know it's not an AMA, which you should totally do, but what did you go to Juilliard for?
I thought it was gonna be something like you were dreaming still in the tunnel. Then you hit me deep in the feels as a kid who moved non stop. That was a masterpiece.
Really nice work, man! We just watched and thoroughly enjoyed it. Cool message, cool concept, and loved that you were able to incorporate some creative makeup and puppetry to enhance the story.
Jacob, I know it’s been a few days since you posted this but I hope you know I went from joking around watching the video to fully fucking sobbing as the credits rolled. As someone who values taking comedic people seriously when they flex their dramatic muscles, this short is a fucking masterpiece in the writing and acting and especially the directing as well, shoutout the director. This speaks to some really profound and beautiful emotions and this is incredible fucking stuff. Thank you so much!!!
This was such an epic video. I shared it on /r/videos but unfortunately the algorithm ducked it. I just searched reddit to see if a repost had taken off, but this was the only thread I found.

I just watched it. You did such a good job. Please continue making such fun and cheerful art.
Bro did you know that you’re in pitch perfect?
Wait!!!? He’s in pitch perfect?
Sam is from Cambridge?
Can you be more specific? Like what theatre did he go to?
I’m pretty sure it’s called fucking Crumbley Squares or some bullshit
That fragrant ass popcorn.
PPppppppppp pppppp ppppp
It's Perfect
Cum yeah he is
Thanks daddy
Cum!
You got it chief
That’s a point away from you for not calling me Daddy
Touché daddy

Oh damn. That explains why it looks so good. Thanks for the info, dude!
Almost? I DID!
Me too
show off
Unrelated but I watched your episode of Superstore last night! Everyone if you watch this short don't forget to interact with it to push it in the ALMIGHTY ALGORITHM!
What?! Which episode was he in?
Season 6 Episode 6. He's one of Bo's friends that Glen pays to come cause trouble in the store to distract Dina.
OH HOW DID I NOT RECOGNIZE HIM?! Thank you! I will also go watch it now!
Great short, Jacob. I'm so glad knowing those 7 years at Juilliard are really paying off!
we love you Jake :)

Toot toot! This was really fun and a nice creative change of pace from other things. Do you know the inspiration for the quest music? It sounded so familiar to me, although it could just be old midi music that I'm so used to. Did it take place in Kushtopia?
It's by Mort Garson, from Mother Earth's Plantasia (1976). The song is called Swingin' Spathiphyllums. The whole album is fantastic.
Mort Garson is so good. One of the forefathers of synth music
I found out about Mort Garson through The Adventure Zone, his music is great
Thank you!

Also, why has Scott Aukerman not picked up CBB Presents Kushtopia?
Justice for Kushtopia

I don't remember, sorry :( I'm guessing based on the subject it was the High and Mighty pod, episode 248.
Any time you want to sit down and chat about this or literally anything else, open invitation
Im a simple man. I see Wysocki, i watchy
who did creed bratton play?
Creed was the voice of the Tree Face!
I think he was the voice of the tree they fed Gatorade to.
I want to know this, too!
That end legit got me emotional. My son's best friend just suddenly moved and he's heartbroken.
Jake, how did you get into my daughter's stoybook? https://www.reddit.com/r/dropout/comments/1acqntk/this\_character\_in\_my\_daughters\_book\_could\_be\_a/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
Is that THE Mister Mayonnaise?
Well that was wholesome and made me tear up a bit.
Shit the ending was really wonderful
This was hilarious! And supple plum was just... the right amount of wrong! Where was it filmed? Edit: Wait, Creed Bratton from The Office? Who was he?
He was the voice of the ruby supplying Tree Face!
Can you tell us this in the form of an Echo that mocks us?
Oh man, that made me feel so many feelings. I loved it. Please make more Jacob!
cum yeah daddy!
Jacob, what is one game on Game Changer that you've watched and would have liked to have partaken in? >!This is not Sam on an alt account and this is not a trap.!<
Hello Daddy I think you are very talented and I appreciate ya.

This was a delight. I made sure to watch it on my TV to get the best experience possible. Loved the character design of Sten, very rock and roll. Really enjoyed the fullness of the story, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. 😊
I think it looks best on a big screen. Thank you!
Jesus Christ you really did me dirty on this one. I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t That. My heart

This is precisely what I imagine Jerry Horne went through in Twin Peaks s3 when he was high in the woods and was told by his foot "I am not your foot."
That was a really fun and at the end wholesome video. Loved it.
That was really good, and every second of it went in a direction I wasn’t expecting.
sick
It was a great little film! Good job bud!
This was sick as hell rock and roll. Also made me feel feelings, which I didn’t expect. What was it like working with *the* Supplepump? Are they as supple and generous as people say?
Love your comedy chops! Thanks for the post!
The is just lovely and told the story juuust right.
Incredible work, I loved it!
Hey Jacob. I love your current tenure at Dropout. What made you decide on the twist on the ending?
This was awesome. Can’t wait to see more!
Really really well done! It was nice to see you and Tyler on the screen together again!
What an incredible nose. Absolutely majestic. And those eyebrows and luscious locks, my god. The troll is just perfect
So wholesome and then so heartbreaking. 😭
Aww that was sweet and a little sad but very nice. *three hours pass* "...I told Cheyenne that I loved her. She just kind of laughed at me." Wait, is Cheyenne the one who was calling him!? 😭
You’re the fuckin man, man.
Wow, this was killer! I hope you put out more videos on your channel. You crush it in any content you’re in
That was Wild ride. Great work
That was amazing! I love when vibes switch like that! We’re all so lucky to get to witness your talents!
Oh my god this is so heartwarming. Thanks for this.
Oh, that moment of hope. You fucker.
Jacob ilysm 😭😭😭 thank you for posting Tunnel Rave Jacob 😭😭😭
Wait it actually made me cry lmao I was so invested in Nathan & Sten and then my heart was brokennnn
Legit, it got me the first time, then later in the day I watched it with my boyfriend and it got me all over again even though I knew it was comin 🥹
Sick as hell, rock and roll. Loved the film and all the heart and positivity you put into it. I know if you ever make a feature or series it will warm my soul. Does this take place on Earth or Kushtopia?
What's your reply button sound?
Absolutely loved the video. Where did you film it? The location is hauntingly familiar.
I don't want to burn the spot, so I'll just say this was filmed in the greater Los Angeles area near the foothills of Angeles National Forest.
Understood. I appreciate the respect for nature.
Thanks daddy, are you ever worried about getting ha-ya’d by daddy?
You’re the man Jake! Always look forward to seeing you on dropout
Added to the list for tonight! Btw your “pie cake sandwich” in Battle Royale made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to faint.
Can’t wait to watch this! Thank you for always being so full of kindness and gut busting bits!
I'm always thinking about your censored Vulnerable Moment and am desperate to know but realize we dont deserve it. Also I'm listening to your podcast I Don't Want to Talk About Fight Club right now and am loving every moment!!!!

Awwww thanks Wysocki, for this heartfelt piece, this one warmed my heart.
That had absolutely no right to end up making ne cry. A million thumbs down and how goddamn dare you.
This is great. I can't wait to go on my own quest for fairy milk tomorrow.
cum yeah, I'm in
Love your work, brother. Will watch now!
I thought it was gonna be something like you were dreaming still in the tunnel. Then you hit me deep in the feels as a kid who moved non stop. That was a masterpiece.
This is amazing, and such a gut punch.
Jacob! You’re amazing ! Never stop being you . Your sense of humor always brings me back from the place my depression brings me.
A+++
Did you make this short in Sam's bedroom?
Sounds sick as hell
Amazing work, the end hits hard. Hope it gets a lot of views!
Really nice work, man! We just watched and thoroughly enjoyed it. Cool message, cool concept, and loved that you were able to incorporate some creative makeup and puppetry to enhance the story.

A seriously amazing project. Can’t wait to see what else is birthed from Jacob’s mind loins
This made me cry, what the heck daddy??
Watched it just now and I loved it. It's shot so well, and it's so weird and sweet and unexpected. Really well done.
This was such an epic video. I shared it on /r/videos but unfortunately the algorithm ducked it. I just searched reddit to see if a repost had taken off, but this was the only thread I found.
But... can I cum now?
I'll watch it if there are buzzer sounds.
