Get in at the ground floor as an IC producer! · by Rafi Kam
The Internets Celebrities make movies for the love of it. But time is money and even our shoestring operation requires both.
That’s why we turn to our audience now and ask who will step up and help produce the next Internets Celebrities flick?
It’s a fitting move because we wouldn’t be doing any of this without our audience.
We made our first video, Ghetto Big Mac, because of the way bloggers and commenters were giving energy back on Dallas’ sneaky sandwich from the future. A few months later, when some people with money flew us to Sundance, we could have gone squirrelly like the other Hollywood folks but we made sure to keep it hip-hop… for the most part. We did that for you!
We broadcast the BK Hip-Hop Fest, Rock the Bells and the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors so that you out there on the Internets could be transported – if only for a few minutes – to a world outside of your mother’s basement.
To keep it hip-hop, we mixed the party up with politics on so many of our videos, especially Checkmate and Bodega. We know you recognize what we do. Now you can get involved and keep this train rolling, by becoming a producer of the next IC flick for as little as $1.
As Cas says at the Internets Celebrities site:
Seriously, even 1 dollar would be appreciated. The great thing about our internets is that we’re lucky enough to be able to get our documentary on check-cashing places in front of almost 500,000 people. If even a fraction of that group pitched in a dollar each, we’d be able to make movies our dayjob.
Now, we don’t have tote bags. And we’re working on T-shirts. Sweet Jesus, we’re working on some T-shirts.
But what we can offer you as a small token of our appreciation is a producer credit.
We don’t have a patron at the moment. We don’t have an agent. We don’t have any sponsors yet. So, basically, we’ve got a lot of room in our end credits and we want that space to go to the people who fund our next movie – essentially producing it.
The producer on most projects is the one who either comes up with the money or handles the money’s distribution throughout the set. For a $1 minimum contribution, you will be listed in our next movie’s end credits as one of our producers.
The wheels are turning on the next project and it’s going to be great. We can’t talk about its content yet as we don’t want to be scooped. But if you’re interested in finding out more before committing some cash, email us for a short synopsis on the next opus.
We’re always happy to discuss future projects with our producers.
Thanks very much for any consideration.

I don’t make movies, but I might have to try this just to get my pants game back in order.
