Just like Trump "we'll give you a couple grand in hopes you don't realize it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to raise them in this capitalist hellscape."
During the q&a someone asked about it. His first movie, Garden State basically got bankrolled by some rich dentist that he knew... He said the normal way of financing movies lets a bunch of rich people get to take control of the script, who you cast, what scenes make it in... Basically everything.
He wanted to retain the control he had first time around to make his next movie, so he crowd funded it... And seeing how many movies get made by talented people that end up being garbage because money men think they know everything and fuck it up... Seemed reasonable 😏
I threw in $100 for a Zach Braff movie. I got to be an extra (they fed us ribs for lunch), 2 t-shirts, then got 2 tickets for a sneak preview with free drinks and popcorn, and a q&a with Zach and Donald Faison...worth every penny, unlike the poor saps that have $1 million to solar freakin roadways.
The More time he's golfing, the less time he's actively fucking us over.
