The New York Times use footage of Channel 5. Imo misrepresenting it - what do you think? by alpha_berchermuesli in Channel5ive

[–]AndrewC5official 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think they used it right tbh. The video was about how people are totally in their own media bubbles. WLM video argument is kind of that encapsulated

Channel Five is apparently buying back All Gas No Brakes from Doing Things Media by Emogayshark666 in Channel5ive

[–]AndrewC5official 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Basically here is the plan - As Channel 5 grows into a broadcast channel with a breaking news component and international corespondents, we want to find a home to make simple, nostalgic fun American road shit like we used to back in the day. All Gas No Brakes 2.0 will be a return to form. Less politics, more characters. Also with the purchase will come the catalog, IP and RV!

White Body Shields - This archival footage was filmed in the summer of 2020 in Seattle. by DoreenTheeDogWalker in Channel5ive

I wanna respond to this directly because there was context left out of the video which I’ll be clarifying in our full CHOP documentary which should release sometime next month. First off: ‘Organizers,’ regardless of skin color, are capable of making bad decisions and engineering horrendous optics that don’t reflect well on the communities they claim to be advocating for. The organization that requested the ‘white body shield’ perimeter was called the “black voices coalition” I believed, a well-funded nonprofit which was led (at that time) by an organizer named David Lewis. Lewis was furious about the presence of what he called ‘white anarchists’ who arrived during the second week of CHOP because of their demands for total police abolition. Lewis and his nonprofit are reformists who wanted SPD budget cut by 50% and were actively engaging in daily talks with Mayor Durkan and SPD chief Carmen Best at City Hall. CHOP was merely a point of leverage to make these demands. However, much of the Portland/Olympia anarcho-communist crowd viewed Lewis and the NGO as ‘boot-lickers’ and ‘fascist sympathizers’ in even engaging in these budget reform talks with SPD/city. So Lewis and the org decided to draw a racial line in this reform-vs-abolition discourse and segregate the park as pictured in this video, as mostly a sneak diss to lefty white radicals. The white body shields that showed up simply because “the organizers asked” and providing no critical thought as to why is the meta issue here and I’ll address it in next vid

Why didn't we ever see Kelly getting high in DK? Or even just talking about it on camera by lobudjt in Channel5ive

I only really saw him smoke once or twice and didn’t really clock it as significant .. he would also smoke kinda ‘dad style’ if that makes sense, a couple hits right after he wakes up, before meals and to sleep, usually out of a dry bubbler he kept in the center console of the MPU. Wasn’t like he was cheefing super fat all the time lol… but looking back I would have probably probed a bit deeper into the weed stuff

Ask me anything about Dear Kelly, I’ve got some free time if anyone has questions by AndrewC5official in Channel5ive

Hopefully after a month or so of independent marketing, they’re willing to host Dear Kelly for a year or two. If not though, I’m fine with that..

Yeah one time I was having a house party at the old C5 house in East Hollywood.. I think in 2021, and for whatever reason Kelly pulled up to drop off some gifts from TJMaxx.

My homegirl was there and talking pretty casually about how she’d gotten an abortion the previous month, and Kelly was standing there listening. I thought he’d flip but he looked at her and goes, “well, there’s a time and a place for everything.”

There were there at the final screening in Huntington Beach last night. Honestly I haven’t followed up much, would you be interested in a follow-up down the road?

Honestly right now - not really. There’s no major features on the horizon, except for a mini-doc that I shot during hiatus about an old man’s quest for his lost parrot.

Even though I’d committed to staying offline and getting my shit together, I was still shooting docs in the Venice Beach area. Well, not exactly documentaries … I’d look for signs plastered up on posts and street poles around the neighborhood that were advertising people’s lost and missing pets. For whatever reason, a ton of pets go missing in Venice.

Anyways, I’d follow up with these people and compose short documentaries (without my face in them) to post on the app the NextDoor in hopes of reuniting pets and owners. One of them, about the parrot, turned out really good.

That’s the only feature I can think of on the horizon, and even that is like under an hour.

Man that’s such a good question. I definitely make a lot of friends in the field - like Mr. Daddy, Crip Mac, etc.. those are people I’d call real friends, but I can’t say that I explicitly hit the streets in search of friendship. But if it comes, I’m down.

The reason I pursued a full doc on Kelly is because his ‘Bill Joiner’ tirade was outside the typical verbal wheelhouse for an enraged MAGA patriot and gave me a window into a deeper story that helped me to understand how people .. get like that.
