You’re also raising money for season three of YouTube series “Willam Belli Beatdown”?
I’m doing a Patreon [fundraiser] now, but my Kickstarter did pretty well. I was aiming for $10 grand and got $55,000. I’m going to do the first episode from a Lamborghini.
What does Patreon do that’s different from the others?
Um, I don’t know. But the girls that produce it—it’s basically a sponsorship, it’s a like an extended thank you, I think. I’m not really sure. You know [filmmakers] Andrea James and Calpernia Addams, right?
Yeah.
They produce “Beatdown” for me, and I couldn’t do it anymore, and I was like, “Girls, I’m sorry this is so much fun but blah blah blah,” and they were like, “Let’s do a Kickstarter,” and I hate asking for money, but they help me manage it and it works, so everybody wins. I knew people watch because of the views and stuff, but I was like goddamn, $55K? Shit—you know?
