You Tube celebrity in student film

A while back I mentioned Dylan Eshbaugh. He had a You Tube series called Dylan's Couch in which he would tell plausible-sounding anecdotes about his life as a teen. That ended some time ago. He was in a movie called Echo Beach made in Canada,

So I googled him to see if he's done anything else and found that last year he appeared in a student film directed by NYU film student Shannon Strong, "The Woman in Red", which you can view here:

Was the shot of the couch a reference to Dylan's earlier work?
