His current project is called 50 Characters in 50 Weeks. Please help fund it!
Sarah Natochenny says: HAH! You're awesome!! I just got my project into kickstarter, we'll launch it in the next week or so, we're in NYC too :) Your characters are really fantastic, keep going!

John R says: John R. agrees with Scott. I want my button. And start writing!

Andy Swan says: the dude abides
ohdavenow says: Very creative people like Brent make it look so easy, that non-creative people think anyone can do it. Just tune into "American Idol" and you'll see what I mean. And I think that's also why insulting and disrespecting people has become a national pasttime. It's entertainment! Hope you can continue, Brent. I've written, acted in, shot, and edited short videos and it takes SO much time and energy! I am so impressed by your level of creativity in all aspects.
Sarah Congress says: I wonder if the angry folk below with their normal "JOBS" are surfing the internet and writing on message boards while on company time. That is FAR more responsible.
Jeanie Clark says: Anyone who says it is less stressful and easier to make a video than to work a "normal" job has obviously never made a video of the caliber that Brent is putting out. These are the kind of people that think art creates itself and should be free. Or, conversely, that art is only worth paying for if you have to pay a lot for it and everyone knows the artist so you can brag to your friends. Neanderthals and posers. Why are you on here anyway? When did spewing venom become a national pasttime? If you hear a knock on your door, that's karma coming to kick you in the ass. There is really no mystery to why people like you are so miserable.
Brent Rose says: Aww look! Haters have come to Kickstarter! Yay! Kickstarter should be psyched; you're not a legit website until you have a good handful of haters. Well, welcome haters, and via con dios.
Much love,
BR
annie wong says: Oh, but Robby, then he would actually have to, ya know, get off his lazy ass and work rather than simply hold out a virtual cup and ask people who actually do work for their hard earned cash. It's sooooo much easier and less stressful to make videos than it is to go out in the real world and earn money!
Robby says: Get a job and stop begging people for money for your crappy videos!
Hurricane Films says: "Brent will preside over your wedding" - wow, what a unique reward! (And another interesting string to Brent's bow!)
