1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY: Looking Back & NEW PERKS!
🕑 Added 2019-02-16 00:30:08 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Long post, but you'll want to read!
We're a couple days late but, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Feb 13th was the official day we launched this Patreon page and started a new journey and relationship with you!
Thanks to you, this past year we were able to transform the way Wong Fu operates so that we could focus more on bigger projects and the future!
With your contributions, we were able to make our biggest independent series yet, "Yappie". When studios and brands said No, you were there for us! Not only could we make it, but we were able to organize a North American Tour to meet many of you in person! This was our first tour for a specific project since our movie "Everything Before Us" in 2015.
We also got to have multiple secret, private meetups at many of our tour stops around the country. It was so cool to connect with you on a more personal level!
There was also a lot of stuff that happened internally that wasn't publicized. One big step was hiring new staff members and growing our production team. More help means better content and also more opportunities for young creators who are trying to become professionals in this industry! We also started mentoring young filmmaking students. This just shows that your contributions go beyond just WF, but impact other lives as well.
And now, looking ahead, we continue with everything we learned from the past year and seek to do even more. First up, we're already in production for our next big series, "Dating After College". This will be a pay-to-watch series like "Yappie", but all Careholders will have access to watch for FREE!
Which brings us to some exciting news! Since this page is now 1 year old, we don't want to just go through the motions and simply repeat last year. We want to keep things exciting and fun for you so that you'll hopefully see value in sticking around... which is why we're adding some new perks to your pre-existing tiers!
BRONZE & UP
BOBA! When we first launched WFForward Phil made the analogy that a $5 monthly donation was like buying us a cup of boba each month. Well, now that Phil has opened up a real-life boba cafe (yep, he did), he wants to return the favor and buy YOU a cup of boba. If you ever are able to visit Phil's cafe BOPOMOFO in San Gabriel, CA, you'll get a free drink on us for being a Careholder! (One drink per Careholder. Simply present proof of your membership.)
SCRIPTS! We will start making our scripts available for download! No one outside of WF or our actors have ever seen these! This is an exclusive look into our creative process! Each new video we'll include a download link to the script, along with a classic video script! You'll be able to see what we wrote and how it translated to screen.!
SILVER & UP
PRIVATE INSTAGRAM! While the Patreon feed and Discord are good places to connect with you, we've decided that nothing beats the convenience of Instagram. We want to be able to post more often and casually, without spamming your email inbox or forcing you to create a Discord account. So we're launching a private instagram page for Silver & Gold Members only. We'll send out a separate post with the account name and instructions for you to add us and verify your account. This instagram will be a more frequent and easy way to stay connected with us!
GOLD
HQ DOWNLOADS! Getting our videos early is nice and all, but getting the actual video file on your phone/computer is even better. We want you to have access to your favorite videos anytime, anywhere without eating up your data or waiting to buffer. Each new video we will provide you with a download link. We'll also figure out a way to send you a library of our past work so you can download your favorite WF videos right onto your device. As a Gold Careholder, you deserve to have this access!
As we head into Year #2 of our Careholder program, we're so excited for what's in store. Your generosity doesn't go unappreciated or inefficiently used. You've directly enabled WF to explore and evolve in ways that were impossible before. Thank you for this. Stay tuned for more updates about the new perks, the 1-yr Anniversary gifts, and more...
