EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Follow the Science is a docu-series that examines whether legitimate scientific data justified the political strategies implemented throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The series is divided into five self-contained one hour episodes. The earlier episodes include a deep dive into lockdowns, mask-mandates, treatments, vaccines, and the true origin of the virus. Later episodes connect all these pieces together and look closely at two overriding themes: the corruption and gross politicization of science and the failure of top-down, centralized solutions to grapple with complex problems.
******
TARGET AUDIENCE
Our primary target audience will be those across the political spectrum with an innate “live and let live” perspective. An important goal of this project is helping moderates of both sides of the political aisle to see how they've been substantially misled by the mainstream narrative; as such, we think it has the potential to serve as a kind of bridge between those that have been unnecessarily divided by something that should have never been political.
******
OVERALL INTENT
Our goal is to restore Americans’ sense of agency and embolden anti-centralization sentiment regarding top-down solutions to perceived crises. We want to erode citizens’ naïve trust in the proclamations of politicians and public-health “experts”, motivate them to think independently, and push back against future attempts to impose authoritarian policies.
******
BACKGROUND
2020 was an unprecedented year in human history. The advent of SARS-CoV-2 was a catalyst for deep societal division, government action unparalleled in the modern western world, and the severe disruption of long-accepted norms of human interaction and commerce.
Questions about the origin of the virus, the implementation of lockdowns and mask mandates, and the rush to a vaccine have created a perfect storm of chaos. This has had one undeniable and disastrous consequence: the removal of the agency and liberty of people across the United States and the world at large, causing unnecessary pain and suffering.
We believe that Follow the Science: On Lockdowns and Liberty will serve as an accurate documentation of what actually happened in real-time, what worked and what didn’t work, what we can learn from that, and how to communicate about it properly for the future.
FUNDRAISING GOAL: $1.55MM
PHASE ONE: Development and Proof-of-concept Pilot
GOAL: $300K
We will produce a 20-30 minute proof-of-concept pilot episode
with original footage, interviews, animations and music that will
focus largely on the data and the personal stories and with a target
release in the Fall/Winter of 2021.
PHASE TWO: Docu-series Production and First-Wave Marketing
GOAL: $1.25MM
We will produce a docu-series divided into five
self-contained one hour episodes. The earlier episodes include a
deep dive into lockdowns, mask-mandates, treatments, vaccines, and
the true origin of the virus. Later episodes connect all these
pieces together and look closely at two overriding themes: the
corruption and gross politicization of science and the failure of
top-down, centralized solutions to grapple with complex problems.
This second-phase will begin releasing episodes in Spring/Summer 2022.

Your contribution will help us get the Proof-of-concept
Pilot Episode completed
and lay a strong foundation for
the documentary series!!

PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING IF:
- You recognize that the truth of the pandemic situation may be more nuanced than we have been led to believe by our politicians and pundits.
- You value a truly scientific, data-driven approach to understanding the pandemic and are skeptical that the public officials have sufficient answers to cavalierly and severely disrupt the lives of individuals around the globe.
- You understand that the underpinnings of civilization itself are being threatened, both through the unprecedented use of government force and the suppression of heterodox viewpoints.
Our mission is to get this perspective out into the world in a highly engaging and persuasive format in order to prevent these kinds of invasive and divisive approaches from ever being implemented again.
******
YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL HELP US:
- hire the right team of skilled professionals (director, producers, editors, composer, etc.)
- craft high-quality graphics and animations to clearly illustrate the data
- make a film that truly reaches hearts and minds and influences how people think about these important matters
- bring the right interview subjects on-board the project to help us make the best case possible
- go a long way to help us market the finished project so that we can get it in front of as many minds as we can manage
