The Video Essay Newsletter Just Got an Upgrade

Hey, a few exciting updates to the newsletter I wanted to share:

📛 Name Change
The newsletter is now called The Video Essayist.
This has always been for creators, and the new name reflects that focus more clearly.

new issues will come from the address below.

@mail.videoessayist.com

📅 New Schedule: Weekly Issues
We’re moving to a weekly rhythm.
Here’s how it’ll work:

• Weeks 1–3: One focused Deep Dive each week — exploring a single topic in depth from my experience and perspective.
  

• Week 4: A special bonus edition — the Top 10 Video Essays of the Month.

More consistency, more value — without overwhelming your inbox.

🧠 Format Update
I’m dropping the old multi-section layout.
Each weekly issue will now be a single deep dive — clear, useful, and easy to apply

📣 New Bonus Edition: Top 10 Video Essays of the Month
Starting this month, I’m curating a monthly list of the 10 best video essays I’ve come across — focused on storytelling, craft, and creative edge.

No fluff. Just standout work worth your time.

Whether you're a creator studying the form or a fan looking for something great to watch, this gives you a front-row seat to what’s moving the medium forward.

Thank you for being here.
More soon,
John Baroshi
