Fund a Feature Documentary on Scientology

[robyonder]

Well Mark at this rate it will take another three years to complete your movie to the "big screen" Looking forward to it!!!!

[hulsmantudee08]

ALL HAIL WISE BEARD MAN!!

[TJae1]

Ur doin' such a good job ~ I don't know what 2 recommend ~ personally ~ it's looks like scam-o-tology ~ more than anything ~ I feel ya dude ~ The leahfleg family was like that 1st day family ~ U encounterd~ in 99' ~ lol & sigh ~

[anzwertree]

Does it have a name?

[MainlyNo]

6 people are Scientologist's

[dryace86]

Just donated, you have my support.

[blackwingking9]

Wise Beard Man, i can not wait to watch your movie. I hope it's succesfull

[LurkingObesity]

My advice: Make a new video announcing Phase 2, mention some of the VIP perks (namely the name-in-credits one), discuss overall plan on marketing this feature (will it be shown at any film festivals? Play in theaters? etc.), and perhaps throw in that you could also acknowledge larger communities of donors (i.e. If a bunch of users from Reddit donated you could also thank the community in the credits.)

Also stuff about contacting local radio that you wrote at IndieGoGo.

Marketing is important.

[jonathanmelia]

I wish you well, Wise Beard Man. I'm just worried about what they might throw at you while you try to make it. Please, please, BE CAREFUL!!!

[coolvidsrule]

I guess if Paul T. Anderson's movie "The Master" fails, this will prevail.

[OmJarr]

This is the best idea for informing the public. Stay strong brother.

[BentStigsen]

I think it would be worthwhile to make a video announcing phase 2. People will just see that the goal of phase 1 is reached, and never see the update with link to phase 2.

[LurkingObesity]

Need new video for phase 2, IMO. Donations have slowed significantly and anything to get the word out could be helpful.

[nscangal]

If I weren't living on a student's budget with half my paycheck each month disappearing to medication, I'd donate. As it is, have my best wishes, and you can bet that I'll save up for it when it's released!

[wintersnowolves]

If i wasnt an impoverished student I'd put in quite a lot of GB£ and not regret it.

I would say, make it funny but don't overplay the comedy, this is serious and needs to be treated as such. Try to see if the BBC will allow you to use their footage of both of John Sweeney's investigation into scientology.

much respect to you bearded one

winter

[AlmightyCornhoolio]

blah.

[thefairlysimple1]

cant wait, tweeted and facebooked

[Omegashadowyoshi]

Man, the $cifags will fucking hate this!

I'm totally gonna see this!

[WildernessTree]

if it promotes God as the only way I am in.In fact I might just produce it myself and out every athiest on youtube

[Sarcose]

@WildernessTree What the hell, do you think that would actually happen?

[WildernessTree]

@Sarcose watch your mouth !les yee be flogged! God is real

A documentary about a cult is not complete without the producer stepping up and confessing his  Faith

[Sarcose]

@WildernessTree I c u trollin

[waynefoolx]

good luck mark!

[CygnusRising001]

If anyone can do it, you can Mark!

[daveygravey123456]

60k aint that much to raise... you will have to compete with bbc this 28th that will be a good one

[kurtilein3]

i think you need to adjust to the internet a bit more.

first of all, if you ca, publish great stuff regularly. and it seems that you can. do it. and then, be aware that your movie needs to be somehow freely available on the internet, otherwise it just wont count. what you do generates attention, attention (if you are great and asking for financial support, but not too often) generates inflow. but i think you are doing well anyway, but adjusting more to the internet will make it even greater.

[kurtilein3]

you are uniquely qualified.

i dont have much money now, recently donated a bit to democracynow, next ill probarbly donate to doctors without borders and amnesty international. maybe you will get a donation soon, i like what you did already, it was a pleasure to watch and very informative, so you are definitively on my list.

[lostfanvanjellies22]

GO MARK!!!!!!

[xenutv1]

Yes, the film will be cheaper to buy. This is just a thank you to people who donate a certain amount.

[soortvan21]

@xenutv1 Not questioning you're reputation or anything , but what do u do with the income of the video and books, i mean u are asking donations etc , so u must be making money off of scientology ? plz give me an answer.

For some reason u are making me nervous , it's like u your self a trying to create a religion/cult and making big money out of it aswel

dont mistaken me for a scientology idiot , thanks in advance

[AnotherGeneric]

Man, I want this dvd, but at a price of $100? I've enjoyed all your stuff ever since I found the first youtube video of your work during 2006. However, I just don't have that kind of cash to give away. Will there be some other way to get it for a cheaper price anytime in the future?

Thanks again Mark and I fully support the backing of this film regardless of my financial status.

[toucan780]

I do live in Florida, but it is a long drive for me and what I was thinking of a showing of the completed documentary in Clearwater as close to the Fort Harrison hotel as possible. That would be fun. Of course I want to see "golden hits" from the past such as Demoss doing the classic ballad, "what are your crimes". Should we get a red carpet?

[Laevi1337]

Interesting, I wonder how a documentary like this would be accepted by the masses.

[anonymootle]

How amazing is that Wise Beard Man mask!!! Damn, i think i want it :( Great video Mark. You're a top notch human being in my book :)

[rojer9]

+100$

[rizo299]

GO MARK GO!

[RageAgainstTheFridge]

so glad this is going to be happening, really looking forward to this!

[todaypompeii]

Hell yes, Mark, I've been waiting for this. You already have so much great footage, this needs to be done. I'll definitely be supporting as much as i can.

[lev3269]

This documentary couldn't be more timely !!! Fantastic and best of luck!

[FoxhoundMoses]

Is your beard the source of your wisdom?

[myasshole69]

i wish i have money to give, to bad i am almost poor

[Anonamomily]

Wise Beard Man...The beard is hot, the man is wise

[pegasusmarsters]

You rule, wise beard man!

[SP4123105]

Can't wait to donate!

[cyraxandflyraxHaters]

I bet Miscavige is beating Tommy Davis and others over this happening... Bunkers first goal of $10,000 already made and then some... Bunker i wish u the best and cant wait for this to be made

[Relyt22]

The most mainstream airtime a documentary critical of Scientology would ever get is online advertisements and maybe some blog-stories about it. I doubt the bigger media corporations have enough balls to broadcast this kind of film into the mainstream. Tom Cruise would never approve.

[SpecialEdward121]

HA! Judging by the state of decline the CO$ is in you'd better hurry or else the movie will probably be more of a "History Of $cientology" than an expose'.

The CO$ will not die a hero or even a martyr's death but instead a sad, whimpering bed wetting demise.

Rock ON Wise Beard!

[nomdevlog]

Please be careful and good luck!

[MsMrNoface]

You'll have my support. A full length would be major win. Best of luck.

[SilverRebellion]

Wise Beard Man strikes again.

[oliesbw]

Best of luck Mark. If I had it to donate I certainly would. If thought magic worked you would have that at the very least.

[Mikedagraaff]

11.143 in two days:-o When this is done you have enough money to hire Tom Cruise to play as Xenu...

[arkivx1]

Good luck Mark I love your work!

[LuckyShitZu]

Sounds like a great idea! Am sharing on FB

[chenalos]

$60,000? I bet scientology doesn't even have that much money left.

[ohbuddyiliketowatch]

your so cute mark i could put u in my pockey and punch you... donating, tweeting and posting !!!!

[AirMan928]

you have my full support!

[ReddmanDGZ]

You have my support, 100%. I know a project like this is going to be difficult (hell, i've followed everything you've done since the xenu website went up). If I can find a way to make a donation, I will.

I'm starting to think that many people don't take the threat of scientology very seriously, especially in light of the humor and comedy that's been produced (namely southpark). While these things are admittedly very funny, the subject that they are focusing on is a very serious matter indeed

[Mikedagraaff]

@ReddmanDGZ

The reason I learned about $cientology abuses was through South Park. I wanted to know if they really believed in something as Xenu. The first time I looked I was overwhelmed with all the crap Scientology is involved in...

Seriously, google a ''normal'' religion and you get explanations of what they believe in and why. Google $cientology and you get fraud, abuses, protesters, dead people and expensive books you can buy.

[ReddmanDGZ]

@Mikedagraaff oh, i know.

[Mikedagraaff]

@ReddmanDGZ

I know you know (I sound like Tom Cruise now, I know). I just wanted to point out that fun stuff like South Park might not go deep into the cults abuses, but it can lead people to the serious information.

[EnturbulationStation]

This is great news Mark.

The next step is here and my money is on it's way.

Yeeeeeee haaaaaah! Criminal cult on the Big Screen for ALL to see.

[nowinlushcolor]

already hit your first stage haha. good luck with the next ones, I'm very excited to see the final product.

[7stringSupression]

If I may ask Mr Bunker how do you envision your treatment or Marty and Mike ? Im assuming you have no intention of making them hero's right ?

[hangover71]

God Bless you....!!  Hail Zenu..!!

[CMO5569]

His Beard is Wise

His Donations will be Green

His Screen is silver

Get ready for an OSCAR next to that Emmy Award

[Ohmythatspainful]

Excellent

Excellent

[anonC2H5OH]

Hmm it's interesting that more SP3s are claimed than SP2s and more SP2s are claimed than SP1s.

You would expect to see the reversed pattern. Cool.

[rhund]

Funny fact: colorful or color person in Chinese means a pervert. :P

good luck with colorful scientoloists.

[Hez0]

Godspeed, Mark.

[Sandiegoanons]

I think many of us wish to contribute but wish to stay fully anonymous for obvious reasons. If there's a way to make this easier, you may get a lot more support. I am not interested in naming my credit card or using paypal so what alternatives are there besides the obvious cash via snail mail... if that is indeed okay with you?

[toucan780]

Mark, it is now 1630 CST and you have passed the first leg of your fund raising after only coming on line with your request a few hours ago.. I am sure your friends in Clearwater (CO$) is watching this successful fund raising while cursing Lord Xenu!

Good luck to you.

[Kitsymac]

Hmmmmm! I'm sure he'll have no problems raising the mula but I for one will be seriously disappointed if this follows the current trend of "Miscavige is bad and slaps people" route. Good luck to you WBM. I'm happy to donate but please don't let us down. :)

[fieldninjai]

your beard is wise, sir

[Tekster83]

I think you underrestimated your supporters will to support your cause a little bit there Mark. :)

you are now less than 400 dollars away from reaching the first goal, even though theres still 85 days left until deadline.

Its truly amazing to see all the support given to you. I have donated 100 dollars myself and just want to say that im honored to be able to support you in your project and can hardly wait to see the result of the motion picture.

[runekey]

Im $144 in the hole currently, but ill bookmark this page and donate when i get some cash. And I will for sure buy this on DVD/ see this in the theaters if made, wise beard man.

[100flyingfish]

done

[Zantaer]

Everyone should thumbs up this video on StumbleUpon in the Scientology category.

[vennominon22]

I will donate, wise bearded man is wise.

Also 2 people are scientologists.

[Finlandcitizen]

For years I have waited for someone like you Wise Beard Man to strike up an epic project of this magnitude for years.

Finally we can expose Scientology trough a whole diffrente media format that allows to faster spread of the message!

Let me assure you that as soon as I get money next money, I shall be contributing to this grand endeavur!

[metrx330]

Hey there Mark. I can only afford $50 but I have to support you. The work you have done and the sacrifices you have made in exposing the crimes of scientology has endeared me to you. I will try $50 every month. I wish you nothing but the utmost success in producing this film. xxx

[LeftyBlue]

Mark, you might want to keep in mind that at some point, the CoS might try to sue you to halt production. You'll have to put some money aside for lawyer fees, if it comes to that.

I can't afford to help financially right now, Mark but at some point, I might be able to send a bit your way. This is exciting! If anyone can put this together and make it happen, it's definitely you.

[TheGameTerminator]

4,600 dollars already? If I only had the money, I'd give quite a contribution.

[EstanBulLoFre]

Oh shit, for $20 you get your own goldenrod-printed declaration of being an SP. Niiiiice.

[KOHIO91]

It's amazing. All of your subscribers just gave like 3 or 4 dollars you could have the money to make this movie happen.

[KOHIO91]

I will definitely see this when it comes out as well s buy it and I will donate what little I can on budget.

Can't wait for this.  Keep us up to date please!

[jagara1]

Excellent Mark - I have not been touched personally by Scientology however I have followed your videos and made a little contribution.

I saw that you are half way there already, after only one day!

I think your approach of kindness as well as not taking any crap really makes a difference from what Anonymous sometimes do!

[KrazyRawb]

Awesome. I'd definitely pay to see this.

[brvandal]

166 rad people , 1 scientologist

[w0g4life]

good luck with the flick and may the force be with you WBM!

[MageThief]

Wise Beard Man, you are the king. I will go and drag my friends to this movie if its in a cinema here in Sweden and I will buy the DVD. You are the best man for this job.

Go and get those assholes (sorry my french :P)

[devonAnon72]

battling the cult takes it's toll, good to see Bunker's rejuvenated, look to the actors and exmembers to help, they're still responsible and have an opportunity to redeem themselves.

[JerkyChid]

aww why'd a bunch of good causes have to come around so close together? I wish I had the cash to support you

[agentsamsonite7264]

I will def donate once I get some bones.

[bagelboi66]

I'd have more to give now if Scientology hadn't taken all my money back in the 80's. Still I will try. It's a good and worthwhile project. I wish I'd won the lottery Friday night, I'd have bankrolled the entire film.

[treesapa]

your asking for alot of money bro, i hope you get it sorry i can't help

[82abhilash]

Any chance Nancy Cartwright would contribute?

[eJeremyTV]

I'd pay to see that film. You are best suited to create it for sure...

[Avery1now]

WOOOO!!!!! ROCK ON WISE BEARD MAN!!!!!

[RustleAbout]

Outstanding Mark. Best of luck to you with this. Expose the cult!

[TehNetherlands]

Good luck Mark! 

[toucan780]

More on the people that should contribute.

1) Nancy Many

2) Chris Many

3) Marc Headley

4) John Dunignon

5) Bonnie Woods

6) Mark Wakefield

7) Last but not least Mary... "what are your crimes".... Demoss. These people we may never know what really motivated them to blow CO$ (Rathbun #1 on the suspect list) or if they can ever be trusted again, these people cutting even a $10 check to help the project would indicate at least an attempt to show us they are sincere.

[cyraxandflyraxHaters]

@toucan780 marc headley should be taken off your list of blown people who you're not sure if can be trusted he has done alot to help the movement

[toucan780]

@cyraxandflyraxHaters That is good news to hear. To be frank with the exception of Marty Rathbun I have not heard or seen a reason many of  the recent defectors cannot be trusted. I really would like for Mary "what are your crimes" Demoss to sign on. I really do hope there will be showing at Clearwater, Florida as I will make ever effort to attend a showing.

[cyraxandflyraxHaters]

@toucan780 i live in the clearwater area too... ive been wanting to do either a small raid (unscheduled) are u at all interested?? have u ever been to a protest? PM me

[NethDugan]

I don't have any money to donate, but I hope it goes well. It's a great idea and I know you'll pull it off.

[LFraudHubbard]

This is definitely PTS

[LtActionCam]

yay a movie :D

[ScientologyPhishing]

Donation made! <3 Woohoooo!

[Clausfarre]

Make it a trilogy.

[rossmoore13]

good luck

[procrastinator99]

Wise Beard Man speaks after a long silence!!!

[TheEvilOfScientology]

Cash is on the way!

[LRonAnonymous]

Don't forget Anonymous in your film:-)

[DrustxPlague]

My fucking hero.

[worshiphim11]

Chapeau Mark.

[TheAzureJahk]

Good to see another video WBM :D. Just dropped a link on reddit to your indiegogo page in full pirate speak no less( reddits having a pirate day).

[Splooshiba]

include wise beard cat, and im in

[cujo76]

about time bunker!!:)

[Lulzman69]

Mark, I've been watching you vids and channels for a few years now...

And I'm wondering... What will do once you win the fight against Scientology?

I still will take a while, yes... But you're winning the battle, man. You're a few steps away from winning the war. So... What will you do after you win it? I'm just wondering because I'd still like to continue following your channels and stories. You're really great!

[AlexphoenixWing]

@Lulzman69

I don't think you can win, not in the traditional sense.

But if we can stop the water flowing in, the plant will dry out

[Lulzman69]

@AlexphoenixWing

You don't think he can win?

Take a good look at $cientology.

It's a shadow of it's former self now.

It's breaking appart.

It's a sandcastle slowly disappearing by the waves of protests.

[AlexphoenixWing]

@Lulzman69 True, but we cannot 'win' as long as scientology's teachings will remain

[Lulzman69]

@AlexphoenixWing

I never stated otherwise.

[AlexphoenixWing]

@Lulzman69 It was just a comment on "What will do once you win the fight against Scientology?"

[meknewxenu]

Best of luck with this can't wait until it comes out, I'll make my way to your site and contribute! WBM you are the man!

[ToryMagoo44]

The Bunk Man Rocks! Good luck with it, Markie---I'll send the dough as soon as possible, and meantime I'll be spreading the word: DONATE :)

[toucan780]

I just finished making my donation. At this time I call on Martyy Rathbun and Jefferson Hawkins to also make a donation and while I am at it, all the recent CO$ high ranking defectors have the chance to walk the walk and make at least a partial amends by donating even a few dollars. They of all people should be first in line to donate.

[ThatOneQuestion]

Oh hell yes!!! Awesome!!

[5h4d0wBG]

is scientology still around?

[Empathyisnotpity]

Gonna have to second what Analyzing is saying. It'd make for a great point.

[PardonMyZinger]

A wise beard production! Woo! I can't donate at this time but I may be able to in the future! Best wishes with this Mark, it's a story that certainly needs to be told.

[Empathyisnotpity]

I'll be sure to donate once I can restock my PayPal.

[analyzingfunny]

Ok, how about this? I'll give 500 dollars if my point is made in the film. My point being $cientology stalked Gareth Cales viciously (see footage) and the well known fact that over 9000 young people were sent cease and desist letters to their homes, by PI's meant to terrorize their families. That is sick and needs to be exposed. These kids rode buses, took taxis, and wore masks and they still found out who they were and terrorized their families.

[analyzingfunny]

@analyzingfunny And for another 500 bucks include an interview/make point of the 16 year old girl who parked like 10 blocks away from a protest, only to be stalked to her car. She had to take a taxi. $cientology /PI's then followed the taxi. This is well documented. That is so sick and twisted and vile.

[yawawot]

Way to go WBM!!!

[234522]

if he dose get it made i will watch it

[graywolf82002]

I just hope when you get this finally all together the scifags don't get it banned.

[TheOats]

@graywolf82002 Agreed! They shouldn't be able to though, right? Freedom of speech "should" make sure of that.

[Mortello]

Is the threat of Scientology decreasing by now?

[Tokio177]

HELL YES! GO WISE SILVER SCREEN BEARD MAN!

[aliveTerraN]

support this guyz!

[angloman1]

I have missed you in recent times WBM. I have often wondered why did not do this before, as if anybody you are the right man for this.

You are looking fabulous and enthusiastic about the project.

I'm sure you will receive lots of support.

Very best of wishes. You are a legend man!

[Phelan666]

Your words are truly wise.

Your face is thusly beard.

[SilencerLX]

GO WISEBEARDMAN GO! We love you!

[Psyfe]

Good luck bro.

[SuperGrimmy]

I donated the first $50 :-)

[89kozzie]

I wish you the best of luck i'm all for bring down any church so you have my vote.

[TheJudgeJoker]

Hey Mark you might want to include this....I found this on RadioPaul's vids....check it out...Tommy Davis caught on recording telling Anderson about their dissconnect policy....It should have been on anderson cooper he says...watch?v=bDfo0s32v6w­&fe­ature=related

[BlackKingX]

Sequel to The Profit? Sounds great.

[wolfieCLANwop]

Posted everywhere i could, someone please digg this.

[Zantaer]

I really really hope this goes well for you!!

[MrFlint28]

I know this question seems kind of odd but with so many movie stars being involved with the C of $ dont you think they will try and use there influence in the field to get your movie black-balled or are you shooting for straight to DVD production?

[LeftyBlue]

@MrFlint28 He mentioned that he wants to take it to the "big screen". This typically means movie theatre.

[laidt0rest]

only if i wasn't broke :(

[JewfroCloneTrooper]

Best of luck to you WBM! Keep fighting the good fight.

[LukyGamer]

I'd donate, if i could.

[TheGame1842]

Will it have STARWIPES?

[Bookwyrm86]

An ambitious project!  Yay!

[dechha1981]

Just donated a little bit

[AnotherGeneric]

Good stuff right here. =)
