Hello everyone!
My name is Rapha Conrad; the producer and Co-director of the documentary, "For the Kommunity".
Six years ago, I team set out with a simple yet powerful mission: to document the heart, history, and unprecedented journey of one of the most dedicated fanbases on the interne...the fans of Rhett and Link/Good Mythical Morning (a.k.a. The Mythical Beasts).
What began as a passion project grew into a six-year journey capturing what it truly means to be part of this vibrant community (or Kommunity, which that name is inspired by The RhettAndLinKommunity - The first fan website made and created by Mythical Beasts).
"For the Kommunity" is a love letter to the connection, creativity, and lifelong friendships sparked by two longtime best friends that have brought millions of people together across the globe.
As the producer and co-director, watching this film take shape over the last six years has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I couldn't help but to thank to the amazing creatives that I have and am collaborating with plus THE RHETT AND LINK for making this possible.
As an independent project, my team and I cannot cross the finish line without your help.
We are entering the final stage of making this documentary a
reality, but completing a feature-length film takes significant resources.
We need to raise $8,000 to fund the essential final steps:
- Post-Production: Editors, Writers, Musicians/Composers, and Graphic Designers/Artists, sound mixer, and color graders involved with the project
- Licensing Fees: Securing legal clearance and rights for archival footage, and media essential to telling this story accurately.
- Maintenance Fees and Technical Needs: Platform hosting (website, ecommerce, etc.), software used for editing the film, and file storage (Dropbox, WeTransfer, External Hard Drives)
- Marketing/Advertisement: To spread the word about the film on the internet and in-person
Our goal is to have the film fully finished by Thanksgiving.
Finishing by then will allow us to start submitting to major film
festivals, host private community screeners, and prepare for our
public premiere on YouTube.
This campaign runs until November 8th, which happens to be my birthday!
After six long years of filming, interviewing, editing, and pouring our hearts into this story, all I want for my birthday is to reach our goal and finally finish this film. Reaching $8,000 by November 8th means we can head straight into our final Thanksgiving edit with everything we need to succeed.
