Venting About Stuff

Hey Patrons!

In this month's Patreon ramble I talk about just about everything! A quick movie update, upcoming movie screenings and an award I won!

I also vent a lot! I apologize for venting so much!

As mentioned in the video, a movie theater in Prince Edward Island, Canada is doing a weekend series of my movies in August! Get tickets here:

My new album OUT NOW!

Hey guys!

If you've been following the Patreon this year, you've heard me talk about my mysterious next album every month. Well, I'm happy to report it's here!

"Beating Off in the The Notebook House" is OUT NOW on all music platforms!

This is a collection of songs I've written over the last few years. It's very personal and a cleanse for my soul and I hope you enjoy. I plan to do some music videos for some songs, sadly I didn't manage to get one done in time for the release....

Announcing My Next Big Project

Hello Patrons,

HUGE UPDATE TODAY!

I hope this excites you as much as it does me, I'm going to make something very special and it'll take a lot of time. I'll keep you posted as the project progresses.

I'll be restructuring the Patreon page and tiers once I announce this project publicly.

Thanks so much for the support.

Love, Joel Haver

Candid Talk About Something Big

Hello Patrons,

Today is an important ramble. I've been navigating something very big and conflicting.

Moments after recording this ramble I felt much more clarity about the direction I will go, I considered rerecording but here are my unfiltered conflicted thoughts.

The Call - New Feature Film

HELLO!

This past week I shot a new movie during The Oscars, this one is a sequel to last year's "The Text"!

This movie was made possible by the remaining funds that I raised last year, knowing I had some leftover money allowed me to splurge on this project despite knowing it wouldn't make any back. As a thank you, I included the Executive Producers from the end of the year as producers on this film! Consider it a 13th movie!

Thanks for all the support, hope ...

What I am doing. What am I doing?

Hey Patrons!

Here's an update on what I am doing!

A "too long didn't watch" version:

I'm making some new sketches on my YouTube channel Joel+ (they're also on TikTok) - https://www.youtube.com/@UCxzKCme4Hgq1IzH7NNXWssA

I'm deep into working on my next album! It's coming together and should be out by the end of March, alongside some music videos. 2025-02-17 01:37:24 +0000 UTC View Post

What I am doing/working on!

Hey Patrons!

Here's my January Update!!!

Thanks to everyone who stuck around as I transition into a new creative chapter. I have some exciting things in the works this year, in due time I'll reveal them all.

Thank you all for the support. I hope you're having a great start to your year.

Love, Joel

What's Next! Please watch!

I DIID IT!!!!!

I always knew I would, thank you all for believing in me as well!

This video is super important because it lays out what you will be supporting if you continue choosing to support in 2025. In short, I have no idea!

For the first time in 5-6 years I will not be beholden to any schedule, no weekly anything, no monthly anything. First, I need a short break in January, I am pooped. Then I just want to make whatever comes to m...

Love, Celeste

Hey Patrons!

My latest movie is out now! It's called "Love, Celeste" and was shot in Dubai.

For years I've been part of an online community of filmmakers who make no budget movies and release them for free. Two members of that community are Dan Lotz and Zaid Aftab, who both make wonderful films. It felt like a no brainer going into this year to make a movie with some of my friends from that community, and it was made all the more special visiting Zaid in Dubai to ...

The Diarrhea Brothers Save The Day

Hey Patrons!

Realized I never made a Patreon post for "The Diarrhea Brothers Save The Day"!

For posterior's sake I will post this first, then tomorrow I'll share the new movie I just released.

"The Diarrhea Brothers" in all its stupidity means so much to me. It's about bringing the silly joy of my shorts to a longer, more in depth, more richly detailed package. I adore comedy movies that make no attempt to ground themselves in anything emotional, and after a...

I'm Catching Up!!!!

Hey Patrons!

So excited to report that I almost have 10 of my 12 movies shot!!

Here's a big rambly update about that and other things.

Thanks as always for the support that funded this crazy project, look forward to more movies soon!

Sincerely, Joel Haver

Hiccups

Hey all!

Here it is! My latest movie "Hiccups"!

I shot this one over the course of 2-3 weeks in NYC, it was an unforgettable experience start to finish. Other than "Hello My Beautiful Creatures", this is my biggest movie this year, so much love went into this thing. I hope you enjoy it.

The next three months are going to be a bit of a mad dash! As long as I don't make anymore stop motion epics it should be doable!

Love you guys and thanks for the supp...

It Just Takes Time

Hey Patrons!

My latest movie is out! It's called It Just Takes Time and was made with some of my closest and best friends in the world.

Thanks so much for your patience as these movies get made, hoping to power through and get the other two I currently have shot out in September!

I'll be doing a video on my Joel Talks About Movies channel today talking about the process. Budget Breakdowns are on pause until I talk to a...

Movie Update Time!

Hello Patrons!

July was very fruitful, much editing lays ahead! Thank you for your patience!

Thanks for making this project possible, the releases have been unpredictable but that just means I'm making the movies I want to and they'll be better for it!

Love, Joel

July Update and F*** the Haters!!

Hey Patrons!

Hope you're having a lovely start to July!

In this ramble I bitch and moan! Hope that's okay!

Can't wait for you all to see what I'm working on next.

Hello My Beautiful Creatures

Hello Patrons,

The fourth movie of the year is finally out! Thank you so much for your patience on this one.

To say Eric and I got carried away would be an understatement. Making this movie was as exhausting as it was rewarding. In the last two and a half months I put in roughly 800 hours of work into this.

MyKey did a gorgeous musical score start to finish, it's available for a listen on Spotify (I recommend listening after the movie) - 2024-06-18 16:31:13 +0000 UTC View Post

At a Wedding! Movie Incoming!! SOON!!!!!!

Hey Patrons!

Thanks for your patience! Thanks for helping support these crazy projects.

Have a lovely weekend <3

Love, Joel

I'M GONNA BE LATE!!!!!!

Hey guys!

I've been working nonstop all April to make an absolutely insane movie, it needs some time in the cooker! It'll be out in May and I will catch up!

Thanks for the support and thanks for the patience.

Love, Joel Haver

Decompressing and Playing A New Song

Hey Patrons,

Happy March! Thank you for all watching The Text!

Here's this month's ramble, feeling a bit sleepy these days. April is going to be nuts in an amazing way! Hope you're looking forward to it.

Thank you all for the support and encouragement!

Love, Joel Haver

The Hero's Journey - Commentary by Joel and Trent

Hey Patrons,

Here's the commentary track for "The Hero's Journey aka My Life aka The Caleb Johnston (I'm Caleb)"!

Apologies for the echo-y audio, I didn't have my voice recording microphone on me so Trent and I raw dogged it on lavaliers. Hope it ain't too distracting! It sounds good over headphones and over phone speakers, but listening now on my laptop it's a bit much, I'll make sure to isolate each microphone better for the next commentaries.

I plan to do...

The Text

Hey Patrons,

The third movie of the year is officially out!

Anyone Else But Me

Hey Patrons,

The second movie of the year is officially out!

I started shooting this on February 1st and got the final edit done yesterday.  I accidentally made an absolutely massive movie in the shortest month of the year. I am immensely proud of what my friends and I pulled off with this one and I hope you enjoy it.

I'll be doing a video on Joel Talks About Movies about this movie soon, as well as a budget breakdown soon after that.

Hope you're having a lovely month, thanks so much for the support that has made this project possibe.

Love, Joel Haver

The Hero's Journey aka My Life aka The Caleb Johnston Story (I'm Caleb)

Hello Patrons!

I am beyond excited to drop the first movie from the "12 Features in 12 Months" project!

I've been chipping away at this movie everyday since New Years and I am so proud of how it turned out. I always wanted to give Caleb Johnston a feature length framework and this felt like the perfect first project for the year.

I am also happy I managed to get it out with a few days to spare. I've already been planting seeds for the second movie which is a...

Thank you so much.

Hey Patrons,

I hope you're having a lovely January.

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported on here for the 12 features in 12 months project.

CHALLENGE MODE: Try not to look at my headphone induced cowlick in this video.

Thank you so much for the support. I hope you look forward to the first movie, which is fully shot and currently in editing.

I wish you the best. Much love to all <3

Sincerel...
