Why did Zabëlle I make a 10-hour long movie of an electric fan?

Zabëlle Skye, who has created and been in a number of short films, including those with Z&jProductions, has just released his first feature-length film, and uploaded it to YouTube. Is it a thrilling adventure? A film about romance during the war? A crime-thriller? Nope. It is a 10 hour long, mind you, film of an electronic fan. Unchanging... aaaand boring. The film has no plot, no story, no characters, no dialogue, no nothing. New Eiffel has a vibrant film industry, New Eiffelic citizens are so obsessed with movies, they even celebrate Movie Day every 28th of May. So, why is New Eiffel’s first ever feature film... well... so uninteresting and lazy? The film is called "Sooting Ring of Fire", was the film made to be soothing? A nice sound to listen to to help you sleep, or study, or whatever? Well, according to Zabëlle Skye, the filmmaker, the film is a tribute to other lengthly avant-garde, surreal, experimental films. He got the idea for the film after watching the 24-hour long "24 Hours of Happy" and "Empire", a popular film by Andy Warhol. Skye uploaded the film to YouTube so anyone could see it – and so he could free up the storage space on his iPhone. Either way, this film sure is an interesting work of "art" with quotation marks.
