Final Update (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all doing well. I don’t have a ton to be able to share this month but just wanted to check in with you and give a final progress update on the video before its release. I’ve got about three more weeks left before it is totally 100% finished. I wanted to get it out in early September but I really don’t want to release this one until I can really get it perfect and it just isn’t there yet. Everything is still going well and I’m working on it every single day to try and get it done as quickly as I can, there’s just a lot of moving pieces on this thing that have been hard to manage all at once. The final video script is roughly 160 pages, which is more than I’ve ever done before and is pretty massive in scope (covering about sixty years of history), but I’m feeling really good about it. I’ve worked closely with an editor on the script to make sure it is as good as it can possibly be, and I’m super proud of what I’ve got here to share with you all soon. 

I also want to share what the video is actually about because I’ve not done that yet, but it is covering the entire life story of the filmmaker John Waters. Not just his work, but I’m basically biographically looking at every aspect of his life and how that informed the way that he did things and the decisions that he made. Like I said before, think comparatively to what I did with Nicolas Cage but much more in depth. I really hope that you enjoy it. I’m very happy with how this is shaping up and have poured everything I’ve got into it. It is going to be five chapters long, with six different outfits and five different set designs with one other chapter being filmed outdoors, and will probably end up being in the range of six to seven hours long in total when it is all edited together. I’m also going to include a few pictures I took when I was building the set earlier in the month. 

I’ve started working on stuff for the second channel and have some of that ready to shoot as soon as I’m done with this, which is also when I’m going to sit down and finally figure out the additional tier benefits and get all that sorted out on here. I just need to be done with this project first before I can mentally move on to figuring out the next steps. I really appreciate you being patient with me here on this one. I know it has been a while and has been longer than I initially anticipated, but after I finish this then I will regularly be putting out content on the second channel so there will never be another time like this where I am just gone for a prolonged period of time like I have this summer. I really appreciate you all, and hope all is going well in your lives. I’ll be back really soon with the finished video. 

Thanks again,
