Dear Festividder 2022

absternrHello! Thank you so much for making a vid for me! Please ignore anything in this letter that's not helpful and make the vid you want to make, I'm sure I will enjoy it.
Likes: women, femslash, polyamory, friendship & found family, vids with a strong thesis statement, fast-paced/action-y vids, character studies, experimental vidding choices. Absolutely any kind of music is great if it fits your concept, but I’m slightly less into very slow and angsty vids, especially if they’re shippy.
DNWs: cop-focused narratives, onscreen sexual assault. On a vidding level, I have a hard time when there’s lots of source audio on top of music with lyrics.
เร็วโหด..เหมือนโกรธเธอ | Fast & Feel Love (2022) [SAFETY]
I saw this movie recently (it’s on Netflix) and I love it and I can’t explain it. It’s a cup stacking sports movie. It’s a relationship drama. It’s a comedy. It’s a very loose Fast & Furious parody, sometimes, kind of. It has some very sweet platonic relationships and some very cute kid actors. It did Parasite for like 5 seconds. It’s just a fun and weird time and I’d love to see what kinds of fun and/or weird vids can be made out of it.
The Talk of the Town (1942) [SAFETY]
Absolutely delightful old movie about a fugitive labor activist, his childhood friend, and a law professor who's coincidentally staying in her house. Classic fun 40s hijinks and lots of philosophical discussions of morality vs. the law. I would love an ot3 vid!
This is How You Lose the Time War - Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone
An epistolary-ish novel about about rival agents moving through time and falling in love. This is one of my favorite recent SFF books, and it has such beautiful rich imagery! (And the romance is excellent too.) I’d love to see what could be done with it in vid form.
Badhaai Do (2022) [SAFETY]
A gay man and a lesbian enter a lavender marriage and try to keep up the ruse with their families—it's silly and tropey but also surprisingly sincere. I’m kind of a sucker for marriage of convenience and the way this movie built to the complicated queer family ending was so good! Anything about the queer characters and their complex relationships with each other/their families/the queer community would be lovely. As always I’m especially here for the f/f relationship.

I would genuinely be so happy to receive any multi-DMBJ vid so if you have an idea for a vid you’d like to make, go for it!! I love the Iron Triangle and so many of the recurring side characters (Hei Xiazi, Xiao Hua, Xiuxiu, A-Ning) and multi vids are great for drawing parallels and creating emotional arcs that continue through all the shows. I guess for one specific idea, I’ve never seen a Pangzi-focused vid and I would like to! Feelings and ships are great, pure tomb chaos is also great.
My one DNW is pingxie on its own—if you’re shipping the iron triangle I really want Pangzi to be involved.
沙海 | Tomb of the Sea (TV)
I nominated Sand Sea as a standalone because it has really strong aesthetic and so many great one-off characters that get less attention in fandom: Liang Wan! Su Nan! The teens!!! I’m also super fascinated by the way the iron triangle has fallen apart and how Wu Xie and Pangzi’s relationship works in Xiaoge’s absence ;-;
说英雄谁是英雄 | Heroes (2022)
[cw: sexual assault and pretty significant Heroes spoilers in this section]
So this show has. A lot of problems. But it could have been so good—I’m very here for idealistic heroes with tragic endings and I love a doomed relationship! Otoh if you just want to ignore the whole back half of the show and focus on the cute and fun parts that’s honestly fine as well :P
Things I’m interested in: almost all ships (see below) being happy or angsty or both, especially poly or platonic relationships, especially wen rou/wang xiaoshi/bai choufei(/su mengzhen) and lei chun & di feijing. lei chun as a character and especially as leader of six half hall, a GOOD SOLID FACE HEEL TURN for bai choufei as opposed to the mediocre one he actually got
DNWs: please no focus on rape and as little of lei chun/bai choufei or lei chun/fang yingkan as possible, generally
