Hello white mutuals. Before you is a charcuterie board with 15 different types of cheese. If you manage to go 12 hours without touching the cheeses you can leave this room. Good luck.
Hi, my name is Harriyanna Hook, and I am a college student and content creat… Harriyanna Hook needs your support for Help "The Progenies" get back to filming
Hi, my name is Harriyanna Hook, and I am a college student and content creator studying English and African American Studies. I created a web series called The Progenies back in 2020. The Progenies is a Descendants fan series. What encouraged me to make this show was the use of disturbing diversity in the Descendants movies. Since I was a teenager, I have been a massive fan of Descendants, and I wanted to put my spin on the story with better representation.
We entered our pilot into Campus Moviefest in October 2020. Though we did not win, many people were impressed with it and wanted to see more of the story. Because of that, I decided to do crowdfunding through another site to get money to make more episodes because the pilot cost $2,000, and I paid for it all myself. The campaign was unsuccessful. This was also when my late mother needed me, so I couldn’t spend as much time on the series as I wanted to. But I still wanted to give the fans of the show something. I was so passionate about this project that I decided to work harder and get the money to film myself and found a way to make the series while also being there for my mother when she needed me. So we created numerous short episodes.
Altogether, this show has cost me roughly $15,000, and it’s nowhere near finished. I made this much because I took on many extra jobs and side gigs.
Fans of this series have been asking me when production starts back up, and I have not been able to give them an answer because of how expensive it is to make this series. I love this project, I genuinely do, but I can’t keep going broke over it. I have to support myself, my business, my youtube channel, my education, my family, and my health. I have to focus on school and can’t neglect that to work more to have the funding for this series.
While there are numerous episodes of this series, I would like to raise money to get production started back up and have the funding to film at least three episodes this summer.
What will this money be going to? The funds will go towards renting locations, costumes, makeup, meals, snacks, props, gas, lighting, and paying the cast and crew (excluding me). The team includes production assistants, editors, a director of photography, a photographer, a storyboard artist, and a casting assistant.
The episodes are already written. The makeup looks have been decided. The costumes have been put together. The locations have been picked out. We have everything we need to start production again, except money. I am not asking for money for the entire production; I am asking for money to get it up again. People have reached out to me about how much they appreciate this show and how me being a black female filmmaker has been very inspiring to them. Black women are often overlooked/not given the opportunity to make their shows and movies, and I am doing what I can to try and change that. I did something complicated, and that was creating my show. Since I was a little girl, it has been my dream to have my own show, and I’m glad I took the risk and went through with it. We need more black female filmmakers. I love Descendants, and I want to continue to tell this story from a black woman’s perspective. Our episodes will be linked here if you are interested in what we have so far.
If you donate, you won’t just be me supporting me; you’re supporting black women in film. The film industry is a work field where many of us aren’t showrunners and are often pushed to the side. Black women should be able to tell their own stories. A few black women started making web series and are now booking jobs with big companies. If you give me a chance to continue my web show, it will lead to bigger and better things for me and everyone involved in this project.
Thank you for taking the time to check out my story. Even if you can’t donate, just a simple share would mean the world to me.
Brew a pot of coffee, pour it into the blender, add honey, cinnamon and nutmeg (and a little bit of clove if you have it), your favorite non-dairy milk, and a couple of tablespoons of canned pumpkin. (US grocery stores have it year-round. It's in with the canned vegetables.) Blend till foam forms on top. Pour into a mug and sip.
500 times better than Starbucks pumpkin spice, plus it has nutrients, plus you don't have to wait for Starbucks to release anything, plus it's vegan,* plus you don't have to go to a coffee shop in a pandemic
*don't @ me about whether honey is vegan. Honeybees are better compensated for their labor than baristas
vegans learn a single actual fact about beekeeping practices challenge
Beekeeper: here is a box with plenty of room and access to tasty flowers. there are no predators around, and I will occasionally remove the shitton of excess honey you make and then don’t need because there is lots of food and no predators
Bees: rad
Beekeeper: also if you want to swarm and leave and go live back in nature there’s nothing stopping you
Bees: why the everloving FUCK would we want to do that
Vegan: this is literally rape and abuse
Loki selfcest fine in theory but in practice they made girl Loki blonde and explicitly cisfem and not named Loki so that it would be less weird . Coward move. There should have been two tom hiddlestons kissing each other
