Patreon Founder Jack Conte Launches ‘Super Patron’ Endowment That Will Give Creators A Yearly Salary
Jack Conte, the co-founder of Patreon, is launching a new endowment fund that will give creators -- of any following size or location -- what amounts to a year’s salary, so that they can focus on the act of creation full-time.
Cheekily dubbed Super Patron: A Creator Arts Endowment F*ck Yeah!, the initiative was inspired by author Harper Lee -- who received a gift of a year's wages from friends telling her to write whatever she wanted, which ultimately became To Kill A Mockingbird -- and was started with $1 million worth of Patreon’s stock. That said, Super Patron is a separate initiative from Patreon itself, and is a 501c3 non-profit.
Applications are open now, and the recipient of the first grant -- for $50,000 -- will be announced in December. Recipients will be selected by a committee consisting of comedian and Patreon investor Hannibal Burress, veteran YouTuber Grace Helbig,...

Project Name: The Residuals Asking For: $20,000 Kickstarter Amount Raised Thus Far (At Time Of Post): $9,076 Days Remaining In Campaign (At Time Of Post): 9 Description: The Residuals is a web series about actors. That sentence alone could apply to dozens of independent web series released in the past year alone, but The Residuals aims for something higher by centering on characters who aren't quite good enough. When I wrote about the series for Tubefilter's Indie Spotlight, I discussed the ways in which its characters--from the protagonists looking for simple commercial work, to the perfectionist casting directors, to the horde of anonymous tryhards hoping to land a big role, to the web series creators with no good sketch ideas--all reflect how difficult it is to get your name out there. What I'm trying to say is that I liked it. Now, creators Michael Paul Smith and Gillian Pensavalle are trying to make a second season,...

Another web series has added to the growing number of comedies about struggling actors, but unlike many of its contemporaries, it seems to be fully aware of its common premise. The Residuals, created by the husband-and-wife team of Michael Paul Smith and Gillian Pensavalle, follows its protagonists as they apply for commercial work alongside a horde of unqualified actors. In the first episode of The Residuals, Pete (played by Smith) goes to an audition for a pharmaceutical company, only to be paired with a dramatic over-actor who tanks his chance of scoring the role. The competing actors in The Residuals are like the townspeople in Parks and Recreation: They're an easy source of humor, but they also represent an industry where everyone wants to be the hero. This theme, intentionally or not, also relates to the series as a whole and its position in the crowded word of web series about struggling actors.
