Festivids Dear Vidder Letter 2022
Oct. 22nd, 2022 08:37 pmDear Festividder,
Thanks so much for offering one of my requested fandoms! I can’t wait to see what you make.
I am very easy to please and definitely want you to make the vid that you want to make, but if it helps then here are a few things I like: I really like both uptempo vids with a strong beat and lots of movement and slower, more contemplative vids with lots of long clips. And everything in between those extremes! I also have a very soft spot for comedic vids, either in terms of funny moments here and there or something that is all jokes from start to finish, so that would be lovely to receive. As I said though, I'm pretty easy to please, so whatever you feel inspired to make will be amazing.
I have written more under some fandoms than others, but I genuinely would be delighted to receive a vid for any of them. I’m signing up at the last minute this year, so I was a little rushed writing my letter.
Marilyn Monroe Movies [UMBRELLA]
I have loved Marilyn Monroe for years and I’d be delighted to get a vid featuring her movies. My favourites are Some Like It Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and There’s No Business Like Show Business but feel free to venture more widely afield if you want to! If you wanted to make something that was a bit meta about Marilyn The Icon vs Marilyn/Norma Jeane as a real person that would be amazing.
Derry Girls (TV)
This show is such a wonderful rendering of a time and a place while also having a kind of universal coming of age quality about it. I would love some kind of an ensemble vid, but if you wanted to focus in on any particular character and do a character study that would also be fantastic. Similarly, something about family, both biological and found, would be great.
Abbott Elementary (TV)
As someone who watched A Lot of Buzzfeed back in the mid 2010s, I’m so proud of Quinta Brunson for the success of this show. This is another one where I’d love an ensemble vid, or even something about the relationships individual characters have with Janine. Or a Janine character vid. I love Janine, you guys.
A League of Their Own (TV 2022)
I literally am having a hard time thinking of a subject for a vid I wouldn’t like for this show. Whether you wanted to make something shippy, something about the platonic relationships in the show, something offering social commentary, an ensemble, a character study, it would all be amazing. I will mention a specific idea just because it might not be something immediately obvious when there are so many other fantastic angles, but something about Shirley’s OCD would be really great. Again though, I am wide open when it comes to this fandom.
Big Eden (2000) [SAFETY]
A queer classic! I love this cozy little film and have been wanting to have a rewatch since we lost Louise Fletcher earlier this year. I would love something about Pike’s courtship of Harry. The food, the benign interference from his friends, his shyness. It’s all so sweet and I want to roll around in it.
Only Murders in the Building (TV)
Another one where I would love an ensemble vid. It can be heartwarming, it can be sad, it can be both. I really love the balance of humour and genuine melancholy in the show, so I think there is scope for a variety of tones you could hit and have it feel very apt. I am also madly in love with Mabel Mora and if you wanted to do a Mabel character vid I would love that.
Star Trek: Lower Decks (Cartoon)
Probably my favourite of the newer Trek offerings of the past few years. I love the silliness tempered by the deep respect the show has for Star Trek as a whole. Again, I would be very happy with an ensemble vid about the crew of the Cerritos (or our main characters specifically), but I would also love something about Mariner and her relationship with both her parents and Starfleet.
