Short Film 'Porgies & Bass' over 1.25 million views on Omeleto channel Youtube -
In late 2019 the film was flagged by Youtube. No reason was given and it was removed from Omeleto’s main channel on Youtube. We were mighty pissed off. Kindly Omeleto offered to show it on their niche drama channel*, but the original view count of 1.25 million got lost for eternity.
