This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
Sifu Julie
February 20, 2019
If you were a property manager, would you mind if "action porn" was being shot in your warehouse?
Big No-Prize to anyone who can guess the inspiration for Julie's cane!
JULIE
Ow ow ow ow ow

LANCE
Hey! You made it! What?s with the cane?
JULIE
How else will your inexperienced costars remember the ancient wisdom bestowed upon them by sifu Julie unless I beat them severely about the head and chest?

JULIE
Also, I think I pulled a groin something or other trying to do a head kick.
LANCE
Ouch. Done that a few times. Not from kicking, though.
JULIE
Hah, show off.
====
JULIE
Wait. Lance, why does this look like a live set?
LANCE
Weeeeelllllll, turns out we only have access to this location for the week. The property manager found out what kind of ?action? we were shooting and wanted to shut us down. But they also like money. So they gave us a week to get it and get out.

JULIE
Everyone likes money. Including me!
LANCE
Don?t worry, you?re getting paid. And I?m doubling your rate because of this fuckery.
====
JULIE
I still hate you. But let?s do this.
