![]() Together, we gaze at the cowboy-hatted bust of Burt Reynolds, rocker Johnny Ramone shredding on an electric guitar, and the bronze likeness of Toto from The Wizard of Oz. Danny follows, his hair currently a bright magenta. “Is it all filmmakers in the cemetery?” Michael asks, stepping out of a chauffeur-driven car with a pair of oversize earphones wrapped around his neck. But on a sunny summer afternoon at Los Angeles’s Hollywood Forever cemetery recently, the Philippous were momentarily less fixated on the birth of their new career iteration than on the dearly departed. January’s head-spinning series of events seemed to herald the arrival of a new filmmaking force in the form of two fast-talking film bros from the literal other end of the earth. I’m like, Dude, I’m so bored listening to this. ![]() We started getting these creative notes steering it into this stereotypical, boring direction. Deal-wise, the Philippous threw in their lot with art-house cool-kid studio A24, which will theatrically release Talk to Me on July 28. In perhaps the foremost indication they had crossed an invisible threshold in Hollywood, the town’s major talent agencies began hotly competing to sign them (with the powerhouse WME walking away with bragging rights). Suddenly, reps for Steven Spielberg and Stephen King were requesting screening links, and horrormeister James Wan’s production company Atomic Monster arranged a general meeting with the brothers. Then, upon its ecstatic Egyptian Theatre public debut (at which no less an eminence than fright-film phenom Ari Aster sat front-row center), the movie triggered an all-out bidding war - Neon, Universal, Searchlight, and Sony among those in the running. In the days leading up to Talk to Me’s premiere at Sundance’s ghouls-and-gore-leaning Midnight section, the first-time feature filmmakers were fêted widely by agents, producers, and production execs the brothers stayed up multiple nights fielding offers from studios and production companies, including Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and the low-budget juggernaut Blumhouse. The movie’s co-directors? Danny and Michael Philippou, excitable 30-year-old Adelaide-born twins who have amassed a body of award-winning, pop-culture skewering, comically violent videos (as well as a passionate, 6.74 million–strong YouTube following) under the nom de vlog RackaRacka. Talk to Me is an Australian supernatural horror–thriller in which bored suburban teens chronicle demonic possessions and the conjurings of spirits (achieved by shaking the embalmed hand of a “powerful medium”) on social media for shits and giggles. In January, one movie exploded out of the anonymous ranks of microbudget indie passion projects playing in competition at Sundance - with no name recognition, no bankable stars, no distribution deal - to become arguably the breakthrough discovery of the festival.

While not offering many advanced features like dedicated apps, the YouTube Studio video editor lets you do basic editing that at least gets your video ready for publishing. And click on the Editor option at the left-hand corner of your screen to edit your video. When you go back to the listed videos, you can then click on the recently uploaded video. That's a better way, as you don't want to perform raw edits on a video that's already public. The best way to access the video editor is to list your video as a private video by ticking the Private option in the visibility step. If you can't afford the cost of dedicated offline video editors, YouTube Studio now has an editor that lets you perform online video editing.
