Thanks as always for the support that funded this crazy project, look forward to more movies soon!

I absolutely agreed and it's why I loved sharing those videos! If I consult with an accountant and they think there wouldn't be problems I'd happily do the full amount and continue releasing them. Otherwise I worry the breakdowns would become less valuable if they had ambiguity tied to the totals.

Joel Haver

Looking forward to the films! It's been a blast so far. I completely understand the reluctance to disclose the gift portions of the budget to the public. That can lead to a lot of hot water. I wonder if, since it is a gift, it could be considered "separate" from the budget and you could potentially resume breakdowns. The only reason I suggest is because the breakdowns are super interesting to me and I've been sharing them with friends who think you need a lot of money to make a movie. Even if the budget is a few thousand due to locations or travel, it still shows how you don't have to raise 100k+ to shoot a good movie. I think that's invaluable.

I’m so grateful for the art you’ve created this year. This is by far my favourite project I’ve ever backed of any kind. The stories you tell are special and really connect in a different way than anything else I’ve watched. Your momentum is astounding. I hope you look back on this year with a great amount of pride. Keep it up, Joel!

I plan to do more commentary tracks for sure, as soon as I find the time!

I'm not sure if this has ever been asked before, so I'm sorry if it has - but I'd love a Q&A with some of the actors or behind the scenes from some of the films, would you ever consider doing something like that? I love DVD extras/commentary tracks.

I completely understand you considering a company project like that. It’s so inspiring that you've stayed true to your philosophy and done things exactly the way you’ve wanted and I know and respect that you didn't ask our opinions on this, but I don’t think anyone would question your integrity for taking this opportunity. If it means giving your collaborators a chance to work on something "bigger" and offering them financial security, it’s a win for everyone. I have no doubt that you’ll bring the same passion and authenticity to a more corporate project, even if it doesn’t feel as comfortable to you right now. Plus, with how unpredictable YouTube is, it could be worth taking, since a chance like this may not always be there. Look after yourself Joel you give me and many others a lot of hope!

I’m really happy seeing artists like yourself prove what’s possible within a medium. You constantly prove that anyone and everyone is capable of creating something of value and you reflect that in your own work. Your work has influenced me in many ways and even encouraged me to create my very first feature (shameless plug; it’s on my YouTube). But seriously, been a fan for a good while now and love everything you’re doing. Big ol’ kudos to you. Can’t wait to see what you cook up next. 🙌

Love the update Joel! Maybe do a Xmas themed Text movie if you do go that route to catch up.
