Your videos are top notch. I hope you continue to make them. The flow is fantastic, which says a lot about your editing ability. I love the boat scenes. Your talent is noteworthy.

Will you put the whole thing on YouTube?

[philosodill]

How do I nominate to feature?

Amazing editing!

[matthrms]

is this the same guy bitching about not being able to pay back student loans? taking trips to africa?

[killerramon]

ya, and his song was good

[person71591]

lol it is

VERY good point

[WTFNTZSJ]

correct that. Jack Abramoff. Done on purpose.

[WTFNTZSJ]

2 questions. Is this trip part of the debt you can't pay? Did you meet up with any thugs from the Karl Rove Club? So Africa is stomping ground for them.  Google Abramson's background on this.

[rutteger13]

I see a spot on discovery chanel :D

[fredrika27]

Looks great!!! So when do we get to see the finished product?

[ishkabibble0012]

best editor on youtube

[chopin65]

I agree.

[Udiuds]

Great trailer. Nice Camera and editing. I am a Film maker myself and I grew up in Johannesburg. A place with so many extrems like South Africa hightens the creative sences like few other places can. Thanks ,-)

[n00bie51]

I'm looking forward to it, Mr. Kresling. That's some fine camera work and the editing really enhanced the video.

[Asianbaconator]

I was raped by frosty the snowman!

[justwatchin655]

amazing trailer with great editing!!!

[ammonman]

I volunteered for six months in rural Mozambique followed by a month in Durban, South Africa. This brought so much back. Thanks for creating such an eloquent and thought-provoking video.

[cranie4]

Matt, you shouldn't Uke and drive..ever ;)

[Veracity43]

The first video, In a VERY LONG TIME, that I did not want to end. That's most likely the biggest comment I can give you. This video is Awesome! Good job...

[FierceRodents]

[amazingdavidman]

I really want to own this!

[rutteger13]

[PsychoMantistle]

When are you actually going to post the 8 parts?

[enelson]

Nice video, I love Ratatat.

[prosp3ct2]

and whats this little movie about? i don't get it? "white man goes to Africa" oh no big surprise.

[wxdhf16]

It's  such a positive nation!

[JsOnTrip]

hey my last name is soto, does that mean i am able to rule lesotho?

[djpstudio]

nice video

[nzingamina]

Wow...you are a judgmental douchebag Kessling... "I thought Licencia was beginning to like me till she asked for Levis Jeans"...are you f*cking kidding me?

If anybody is using anyone it is YOU to promote your lil movie and career. I DOUBT that the Africans in this movie were paid a dime.

Please STFU...from African.

[BeechSundowner]

Good video!

[S6T6F6U]

Mud Huts, what a colorful and intelligent history.

[smellthis0]

THEY STOLE ALL THE WHITE MANS LAND

[prosp3ct2]

.... your must be one of those special people who thinks everything is for "whites" , it a shame. that you can and other stay ignorant to the world and other people you kill and hurt and among other things.

[FelixLGato]

I think everything is for "everybody". I don't think that guy has killed anyone either..

[theasdfgman]

Hey Kresling, did you know:

Beautiful footage, fascinating folks and critical social problems are highlighted in this series on South Africa, Lesotho, Mozambique and Madagascar.

[PhantomFro]

Is that Ratata?

[znarf541]

Interesting music video...

[moonisnotovermyhammy]

FINALLY youtube puts something interesting in the spotlight. Thank you.

[Samrixs]

o was able to talk to some south africans about a year ago. all i have to say is this:

they are the most racist bastards i have ever met, one of them admiting to killing a black guy. that, and they will fight about anything. one of them tried to kill a co-worker of mine.

[ouboet]

Really.... so you spoke to a South African ones and all of us are the same.

If that is the case all Americans must be arrogant a-holes. Because I spoke to a arrogant American a-hole once. Every nationality has idiots. And before you talk crap why don't you come here and see for yourself before you shoot your mouth off.

[Samrixs]

first of all, dont talk to me like that you little bitch. i talked to about 20 of them, they were on a harvest crew. out of that 20, atleast 18 of them were extremely racist. and i talked to the non-racist ones, and they said black people get treated like shit over there. that sounds racist to me. but im white and american. its none of my business.

[ouboet]

Well, then don't act like a stupid little bitch.I go to the States often. I have lots of family there and it's there that I have heard some of the most racist talk in my life. People there assume things and the stuff some Americans have said to me is shocking!I will admit there are still people who have issues in SA but the MAJORITY of people, black and white are trying to live and work together.So before you start branding a whole nation because you spoke to some farm labor maybe stop and think

[belblew]

trust me I just forwared this to my friends and so I hope you will reach 1000 by the end of the week. I'm trying to get you there! Great work!!

[arburns1984]

I agree - very inspiring Matt. Well done, keep up the cool travels!

[justusviIIian]

This is incredible work! Why is there only 700+ plays and where are the rest of the series!?

[Touchdown2tones]

Very smart work!

[titanium0white]

Fantastic!!

There's a lot of warmth and humanity in your style, and humour, too.

I can't wait to see more of this.

I'm headed To Durban in January to volunteer in a wildlife rehabilitation centre. I'll be bringing my ukelele along too. :P

best wishes!

A.

[AmyMcGann1]

Love it!  When is soon?

[randyftz]

The last clip of you falling with the ukulele made me laugh very loud and replay it several times. Why is that?

[MysteryComedian]

Matt I love the video.

- mc

[crznsuz]

This looks to be an unforgettable video series, I look forward to it!
