a film about friendship
Simon Kim posted nothing new over the past seven days, and among the vlog channels around his size it was the gentlest stretch of the lot: every one of them, from Monet McMichael to Kenzie Bree, gathered more views. His channel ran a little under its usual pace, with subscribers holding at 410,000.
What kept it moving is the video he once called the most important he had ever made. "a film about friendship" follows a tradition: every three years, Simon and his childhood friends, the ones he saw daily from elementary school through high school, take a month away together for an adventure. The description admits he made it for nobody but those guys, and hopes it nudges viewers to call their own friends from home. Well over a year after it went up, it still draws more daily viewers than anything else on the channel.
Behind it sits "5 years as a full time artist.", a reflection from late September, and an older outdoors piece: "30 Miles in Big Bend National Park | Outer Mountain Loop", his solo backpacking trip through the Texas desert, still quietly picked up by hikers nearly three years on. For a channel whose about line reads "i hope this makes you feel something," it is fitting that the film carrying the week is the one about the people he grew up with.
