What can I say about the Nix Brothers that hasn’t already been said about scarecrows? They’re tall. They’re made of straw. And even though they’re designed to scare away birds, more often than not the birds realize they’re not sentient and wind up perching on them, so really how fucking effective is that? I guess the Nix’s really don’t have all that much in common with scarecrows at all. They’re just tall and thin. The similarities end there. Lucky for us.
Because in my many years of fucking around with video cameras in high school to going to film school in college to making sketch comedy videos now, I have never come across two people as talented as Evan and Adam. I started sketches with these guys a little over two years ago and in that time both of our careers have exploded, relatively speaking, from just fucking around with friends to actually having people pay us to make things together. And the best part about the whole thing: the Nix’s haven’t changed at all. They’re still the same-hard working, soft-spoken, intuitively hilarious filmmakers that I’ve known from the get go.
Me? I’ve become a monster. I’ve gotten a little bit of attention and the inner diva in me is rearing her ugly head and GOD HELP US ALL if the limousine shows up even two minutes late! The Nix’s not so much.
The highest compliment I can pay someone is that they don’t have to tell you how talented they are. They just let their work speak for itself. The Nix’s are exactly that. They’re also two of the nicest and more easy-going guys I know. And they both dress really well. They don’t get enough credit for that, but they do.
Can you tell I’m a fan of these guys?
Well I really am. But I’ll let cease the fellatio. I’m just happy I get to work with such talented guys. And I’m happy that they came to my dining room table to chat about all sorts of matters Nix: from anime fetishes to impending nuptials to when the fuck are we going to get off our asses and begin work on Grawlix Season Two? Soon. And for the rest of our lives. Well not the rest of our lives. Just however long it takes us to finish. And then the Nix’s will smile and nod at a job well done, just like always. And then they’ll take their posts out in their respective fields, and they’ll stare towards the horizon and not scare away any birds.
