Each episode of Every Frame A Painting feels like a perfectly-crafted jewel—every video essay analyzing the film form, while using those same techniques to tell an entertaining and compelling story. In its past two years, it’s built a dedicated fan base of over 3,700 patrons donating nearly $6,700 for each video on subjects as varied as how to do visual comedy to texting and the Internet in film. Creators Tony Zhou and Taylor Ramos return to XOXO from Vancouver, BC to debut a brand new episode.
