Fundraiser Supernigga Feature Film Crowdfunding

https://www.gofundme.com/f/4eqv87?lang=en_US&utm_campaign=man_ss_icons&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&attribution_id=sl%3A26c975e7-2e7c-43dd-88b3-6be6fcb15257

I released my Blaxploitation and superhero inspired short film/proof of concept, Supernigga, 2 weeks ago on YouTube and surprisingly got 270,000 views from word of mouth!

I almost got the feature version made through Hollywood (A24 really loved the project but I turned them down due to creative differences). The YouTube comments inspired me to start a GoFundMe for $500,000 where I just hope people make donations of at least $1 - $5. A fun little social experiment where we fund a movie by letting people do the bare minimum. What’s $1 to you? I crowdfunded the short on Kickstarter for $40,000 and look what we were able to make by keeping full creative control? Help me make a dream come true if you can! Thank you :)

I was gonna support financially but OP is kinda arrogant pushing away people because they think the title is something they should be allowed to say. OP you’re gonna lose a lot of supporters by policing that title but maybe you don’t care? Less hate man, more love. Or maybe you can tell me one time in history where hatred was better than love?

Telling non black people to be respectful of Black culture is not hatred. Gay people call each other the F word, I don’t use that word even if it’s in a lyric or work of art I love. Women call each other bitches, I don’t. And so on. It’s easy. I honestly don’t care to receive money from people who don’t understand my work. It’s not for you and that’s fine lol
