During the q&a someone asked about it. His first movie, Garden State basically got bankrolled by some rich dentist that he knew… He said the normal way of financing movies lets a bunch of rich people get to take control of the script, who you cast, what scenes make it in… Basically everything.
He wanted to retain the control he had first time around to make his next movie, so he crowd funded it… And seeing how many movies get made by talented people that end up being garbage because money men think they know everything and fuck it up… Seemed reasonable 😏
I threw in $100 for a Zach Braff movie. I got to be an extra (they fed us ribs for lunch), 2 t-shirts, then got 2 tickets for a sneak preview with free drinks and popcorn, and a q&a with Zach and Donald Faison…worth every penny, unlike the poor saps that have $1 million to solar freakin roadways.
Because everyone likes an annoying buzz kill, he was actually quoting a universalist minister from a few decades before.

Yeah it’s a funny sign but ultimately useless. People who have lived through the last nearly decade dominated by Trump who still aren’t voting are either so disengaged that they just don’t see fighting Trump as an existential crisis or (and this is a much smaller group) see the system as so inherently fucked that they’re just not partaking in it.
But maybe nobody cares for analysis ruining a perfectly funny lawn sign.
(Disclaimer: these are just my thoughts on non voters, not my own position. I will be voting, and not for a racist, rapist, fascist)
