As independents, we are ironically dependent on the generosity of others. But that’s not a bad thing, because by reaching out like this for help and support, we find our community. And community is everything in the world of independent filmmaking. You guys are the ones who watch our work, like our social media shares, comment on our videos and let us know that out there, somewhere, we have an audience. You engage, debate, contribute and give feedback. And we couldn’t be more grateful for that engagement and interest in what we’re creating.
FIRSTLY, THANK YOU TO ALL OUR PATREON PATRONS WHO KEEP THIS WORK TICKING OVER YEAR AFTER YEAR! WANT TO JOIN THEM? CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW:
