Added 2024-12-31 17:00:15 +0000 UTCI DIID IT!!!!!
I always knew I would, thank you all for believing in me as well!
This video is super important because it lays out what you will be supporting if you continue choosing to support in 2025. In short, I have no idea!
For the first time in 5-6 years I will not be beholden to any schedule, no weekly anything, no monthly anything. First, I need a short break in January, I am pooped. Then I just want to make whatever comes to mind. Whether that be my next album, some shorts, another movie or something else entirely. If that sounds worth supporting please stick around, no pressure if you want to slip out the door.
Thanks again for joining me for the 12 features project, it was the most rewarding artistic undertaking of my life. I am so proud of all 12 movies individually and as a collective piece. Thank you for the support that made this all possible.
Many great things to come, Happy New Years.
Love, Joel Haver

2025-01-03 15:11:10 +0000 UTCJoel, no one else on the god damn internet inspires me more than you. Being a tiny artist can really suck sometimes, and you obviously haven't let your exposure/reach go to your head. I feel like you would still be making the same things regardless of your audience size, and that fills me with so much hope. Thank you for making the art that you make. It makes me want to push myself that much harder. There's no way I'm canceling my patreon subscription. I love the things you make. You're truly amazing.

2025-01-02 19:49:41 +0000 UTCCongratulations Joel! An absolute inspiration to the filmmaking community. Maybe this would be encompassed in the commentary tracks, but I would be super curious to get a glimpse into the “how to” of making films like this, your workflow in planning and running productions, your thoughts on how you know an idea can work for a feature, and how you develop the community around the film as it’s being made to ensure that everyone is having a good time and there’s minimal stress or burnout on the part of those working on it. It’s no secret that indie film has a reputation of being an unnecessarily taxing experience for people working on them because of poor direction or planning and now that you’ve done so many of them in such a short time, I’m so fascinated by how you do that sustainably and enjoyably for those involved. Anyway, just throwing a thought out there as a potential exploration that I’m sure others would love to learn from. But also… do what you want and never stop making the things that bring you joy! Congrats again!

2025-01-01 21:51:19 +0000 UTCP.S. You might enjoy this video I made: https://youtu.be/5l9_MFhc86A. I'm not quite as prolific as you - It's the only one I have on YouTube, its from 13 years ago, and it's 17 seconds. But I think it's got some good dramatic tension going on

2025-01-01 01:12:09 +0000 UTCI can hardly believe it's been a year since you announced you were undertaking this gargantuan goal let alone believe you achieved it. Some truly amazing films, so impressed and honored to be witness via some realness to your spectacle

2024-12-31 23:48:57 +0000 UTCThank you for letting me ride your coattails for a year, Joel. I'm scaling back from the executive producer tier for the moment, but am ready to jump in again whenever the time comes.

2024-12-31 23:32:32 +0000 UTCCongrats Joel! I'm sticking on the patreon because you have shown me true artistry and an unrelenting passion for making films. You have helped me appreciate so many films I never would have before, and I love sharing your work with people. Lastly, I just wanted to say that across all your films, I can feel the change it has made in my life this year. I'm late in watching several of them, but the effect they have had on me is no small thing. Enjoy your break, and I'm excited to see what marvelous things you conjure next!

2024-12-31 23:03:57 +0000 UTCCongratulations Joel, incredible work. please take a well earned break. I’ll be around to support whatever you do. I like the idea of supporting and promoting lesser known music. Even a collab with Kevin (FM) on that would be great. I’ve got a few of your movies to catch up on yet. Love from Australia

2024-12-31 22:56:30 +0000 UTCYou're inspirational dude of course I'll continue supporting your art 😍

2024-12-31 19:35:02 +0000 UTCIt ain't much, but you have my support until you quit, or until my financial situation changes significantly. Looking forward to the commentary tracks, and looking forward to seeing what you do next.

2024-12-31 19:00:17 +0000 UTCYou mad man inspiration! I wanna say I don’t know how you did it but I also know you are so talented and hard working and gregarious surrounding yourself with awesome people that make the impossible possible! Can’t wait to see what you do next, and so glad you’re resting up!!!
Sethward
2024-12-31 18:55:28 +0000 UTCYou could argue that the effort you put into making “Hello My Beautiful Creatures” was more than compensation for not making animated shorts this year. It was a wonderful year! You deserve to take things at your own pace for as long as you feel! Take it easy Joel and here’s to a hopefully Happy New Year!

2024-12-31 18:46:37 +0000 UTC(reposting this from YouTube just to make sure you see it!) I just want to say, your 1) creativity; 2) decency; 3) humor; 4) sincerity; 5) positivity; 6) other things too; are all really inspiring. Congratulation on finishing this project, thanks for your contributions to the world, and I hope you take some time to rest! (P.S. I will definitely keep supporting!)
Justin Farnsworthy
2024-12-31 18:43:28 +0000 UTCit’s been such a blast to see you express yourself creatively all year; over half of your movies made it into my favorite YouTube films playlist! i can’t wait to rewatch all your movies from this year and do a ranking for my own patreon ramble next month. but for now, take a much deserved rest buddy; looking forward to whatever you decide to pursue next!
corey bossom.
2024-12-31 18:38:57 +0000 UTCGreat question! There were many lovely memories, but working 30 days nonstop in close proximity with Eric for Hello My Beautiful Creatures was the deepest I ever got into the weeds on a project. Not sure I could do it again, but I’m glad I did.

2024-12-31 17:51:00 +0000 UTCHuge congrats Joel! You've made some of my all time favourite movies this year! Take a well deserved break and then have fun making whatever is fun!!
Julia Garbe
2024-12-31 17:49:01 +0000 UTCI can't imagine doing something so ambitious as what you've accomplished this year. Truly something to be proud of for the rest of your life. 11 unique and beautiful films and 1 that I'll watch tonight. Take your well-deserved break and come back whenever you're ready with whatever you feel like making ❤

2024-12-31 17:21:06 +0000 UTCSo happy to be a fan of yours Joel, though the thought of your end credits being "Subscribe for..." fills me both with existential dread and excitement. Looking forward to catching up on these last 3 movies. Take a load off and look after yourself man its been rewarding but no doubt extremely hard. We all look forward to seeing a well rested Joel in the new year. All I've got left to say is Happy New Year! How's the view from atop that mountain? You done did it man! You done did it :)
Toby Ainscough
2024-12-31 17:21:00 +0000 UTCCongratulations! I can only imagine what kind of undertaking it was to get all these films out the door. My million word serial fiction was an undertaking, but that I stretched out across 4 or so years. Your 12 movies in 12 months is a Mount Everest level of creative achievement. And I've been really enjoying all of them. Such a variety and, in a sense, they're so pure and genuine in their creation. This type of project reminds me of the wilder films you got in the past, where someone with an idea got a few people together and just made thing. Take the much deserved break. Looking forward to what else you create.

2024-12-31 17:18:47 +0000 UTCEnjoyed every single one of them. Thanks so much for the hard work and enjoy some rest❤️
