    I remember feeling so proud about backing the kickstarter when I was like 14. Now many years on, I’m very excited to finally see it. Congratulations on it all!

    holy shit, i've been following this project since the start! i remember being 14-15 and excitedly telling all my friends about it. i'm 21 now so that's a little scary actually. it's really cool to see how far you've come with it all! excited to get to see it :D

    I was 16 when you announced making the film. I wasn't a kickstarter backer, I don't think, but I defo remember giving £10 for it. I also bought the book and read it super quick (I still have it, and I'm going to reread it before the 1st). super excited for this, I always knew you were talented but totally forgot about this project until it won that award. you've grown so much and I'm super stoked to see carrie and patty (who have also grown so much!) on the project. congrats, luke, take some time off tho, jesus

    Absolutely more than deserving of an award. Not trying to lean too hard into the money side of things but for a youtube crowd sourced movie that exceed the expectations of what would be delivered is a monumental achievement to the platform and already speaks for it self. From first subscribing in 2014 i couldn't be happier to see someone so passionate for their art it warms my heart to see someone have their dreams fulfilled.

    I remember back when you pre-announced a big project and something else and you replied "no that's in 2 weeks you bottom" and now here we are!! I can watch it so soon, right after I've finished rereading the book! Thank you for this Luke, both making me aware of the amazing book's existence, and allowing me to see it in film format!

  • @keepar
    @keepar Před rokem +1

    Woah, so glad this appeared in my recommended feed! I remember the build-up to the announcement, getting my comment on facebook immediately removed because I speculated you were making a film, and pissing my grandma off because I wanted to buy a book that would ship into Mexico from the UK! Thank goodness the film is streaming in Mexico, maybe I'll show it to her next time I'm visiting. How time flies... I remember being in middle school and meeting you at VidCon a year (?) before the announcement, and now I'm in my mid-20's about to graduate university. So much has changed, and throughout the years here and there I would think, "Who is Arthur Braxton?" and look up your CZcams channel again. As a former fan that's come around again, I'm so proud of you! I can't wait to watch the film with my roommate.

    Congrats!! I remember following your process when I was just a teen and wanting to make films too. I'm so excited to finally see it! Funnily enough my own first (short) film that me and my friends have been making for two years will be out on September 9th as well haha

    I remember that day when the kickstarter video released and now we’re here. I’m so happy for you. Followed you for many many years now and no one deserves this more

    I've been following you talk about this film since I was in high school and now I'm moving into my first house the same day it comes out 😭💗 a good way to christen the new space, methinks. thanks Luke! :D
