Scott Ariza, Hyouhen in the gaming world, joined Witness Underground for our film release launch on Kickstarter. Scott and I are both connected to great people in the film world in Los Angeles through Filmocracy Film Festival. That group has become a really important community and film festival for Witness Underground. Scott and I met through the Filmocracy Discord. https://filmocracy.com
Paul and Philip Jun are brothers and co-founders of the company. Paul Jun worked for years distributing and selling films at Cannes Film Festival and now they have created a platform with indie filmmakers in mind. Filmocracy has become a serious player in the distribution and festival area, disrupting giants.

Witness Underground is the only film to humanize cult life & survival via self-expression.
Within the confines of an elusive cult, a vibrant alternative music community thrived, deprogramming themselves through art. Poignant live performances punctuate tragic losses to beautifully illuminate shunning by Jehovah's Witnesses. 🚀
We successfully hit our goal on Kickstarter to release Witness Underground thanks to your support and shares and the hard work and consistency of Scott Ariza and the rest of our Core Team.

VFX Artist Klaas De Loose - Monster Match Studios (Belgium) Film Release Special
Youtube Version of this episode:
https://youtube.com/live/9_cib9UF8C8
Klaas De Loose with Monster Match Studios joined Witness Underground to bring it to the professional level that you see today.
Let’s dive into his music and illustrations!
Check out his work at
https://mnstrmtch.com
From Klaas:
"As a Jehovah's Witness, I used to be a people pleaser and that also reflected my work as a graphic designer. I arrived at a certain place in my life and I want to be completely myself when it comes to my art and music, that means becoming more confident. In my professional life that means that I try to accept only assignments that I personally like so that I can develop my personal style - which I do. In my spare and free time, I try to focus on becoming more of a performing musician with a high focus on ambience and visual style.
This of course was out of the question being a JW."
The band featured is Korinthians.

Hypnotherapy - Jonam Ross - Kickstarter Special
Watch this special episode on YouTube:
https://youtube.com/live/cYA8AmHud-4
Rewrite your subconscious with Jonam's self-authorship hypnotherapy program!
We jump into how it works and the process you'll experience when you start.
Courteously made available to backers, Jonam Ross's course can help with recovery from trauma and much more.
You will learn how to become your own hypnotherapist and build a high degree of competence in working with your unconscious mind and leveraging unconscious resources towards conscious intentions.
You will master tried and tested methods that enable you to live your life feeling that your mind is truly your best asset, working with you and for you.
You will lay deep foundations that will augment and support you in any other personal development or therapeutic work you choose to take part in.
You will re-train your brain so that your desired results come as a natural byproduct of who you are, rather than having to feel like you’re “faking it to make it.”
If you supported at any level during our film release on Kickstarter in November, the introductory course was made available to you. Here's the link to try it out. https://www.religionrehab.co.uk/hypnotherapy
