Official video for James Kochalka Superstar's "Monkey Vs. Robot". Featured in the Slamdance Film Festival, New York and Chicago Underground Film Festivals, and many more, this video went viral before the term existed:

Dear Nate,

Long before the days of YouTube or Vimeo, before there were "likes," folks like you were lucky. You were superstars. You circulated your work all across the world wide web. i don't know if you know just how much this video blew up at the time, how often it got played in classrooms when the teacher wasn't looking, how many of us picked up video cameras and made home movies because videos like Monkey Vs Robot kept us going.

Anyway, a friend asked me to wear a monkey suit this weekend and I thought I'd say thanks.
