Other ways you can help!

  • Spread the word
  • Embed our main project video on your site using the button just below it (Please make sure to include a link to our Kickstarter campaign)
  • Add our banner to your website: horizontal, horizontal-sml, vertical
  • Get involved as an Executive Producer: Did you notice that if contributions you referred reach 2K you can earn an EP credit on the Tube project? It's easier than you think! You might have ideas or connections that could facilitate appropriate sponsorship. You might be part of a community we haven't reached that would appreciate some facet of our work (Animation/Film/Art/Literature/New Media/Copyright Reform/Free Software/Free Culture/Feminist/Arab Spring/Social Justice/Entomology :)) We can see the traffic patterns of our donor base, and already several people have earned EP credit through clever promotion alone.

If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution please contact us; we also have fiscal sponsorship.

Here Bassam offers an "under the hood" look at this week's production work, and a peek at our tools -- more on our custom toolset next time!
