A trailer for a season of curated internet-dark experimental shorts treated as its own discrete weird thing. Meta in exactly the right way — the ad for the void is itself the void. One minute of Chris Osborn saying: here is the abyss I have been cataloguing for you.
A trailer for a curated streaming compilation — useful as a doorway into Osborn's program, but as a discrete object it's a doorway, not a room. I'll point people through it rather than at it.
