M. Night Shyamalan launches YouTube channel to try to work on his relationship with you
Visibly a little nervous, Shyamalan expressed his hope of undoing "whatever stigmas are in my head, or in anybody's head."
M. Night Shyamalan has launched a YouTube channel in an attempt to improve his connection with viewers. This is the first video on his new personal account, which he describes as a way to "reflect, get to know each other, deepen the relationship." Shyamalan expresses his nervousness and fear of venturing into social media, stating that he is "scared" and interested in the "messiness" of it all.
The filmmaker, who has been in the industry for 30 years, aims to "undo" any stigmas he or others may have about his movies. He does not specify these stigmas, likely due to the existing negativity found in internet comment sections. Shyamalan's vulnerability is evident in his concern that this direct communication could "break" something important to him.
He has also shared footage of his luxurious office and a bench where he sits to watch a tree he planted after his father's death earlier this year. Shyamalan announced in the video's comments that he plans to post new content to the channel every Sunday, starting August 30.
