Yeah, it’s one of these videos. I open with the classic “can I have a dollar?” bit, except the guy begging is me, and the punchline is that I’m not asking for cash—I’m asking if you’ve got PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle… and then I pivot hard into “do you wanna join Patreon?” Because I’m Grant Duffrin, CEO of my own company (3G Industries), and I’m trying to keep the homegrown collab chaos alive. In this sketch I lay out, in painfully earnest corporate-speak, why Patreon matters: I love making fan films and comedy projects like Shrek Retold, Sonic Rebuilt, and Super Smash Tournament, but I hit a financial snag and I want to keep making stuff like Shrek 2 Retold and beyond. I break down the tiers—$1 gets you exclusive content, BTS, updates, and the patron-only Discord with movie nights and game nights; $5 gets your name credited on the website and in videos; and $10 gets prizes plus a quarterly 3GI Zine with stories, comics, and even community submissions. Then, naturally, I end by escalating into unhinged street-corner energy because that’s the brand: sincere filmmaking goals wrapped in absolute mayhem.
