I came here expecting to say what half of you already said...'inb4lock' but damn...I'm highly impressed and can't wait to see the finished product.

Honestly though, I'm actually kind of surprised that (for example) Vice hasn't discovered him yet. Now hear me out before you go 'oh god no'...they tend to do pieces on some really out there stuff (especially on the HBO series), and when you think about it, he really does have his own culture surrounding him...I mean, the kiwi's got how many members, people traveled to his last court hearing (and probably will to the upcoming one), and he really does have one weird ass story behind him. I'm sure they would throw a whole 'cyber-bullying' spin on it for the views, but damn if it wouldn't be interesting to watch.

Thank you papa dong, and I agree.

I was skeptical when I clicked on this, but I think it looks like you at least have a plan mapped out, unlike other people who just say "Hey, I'm going to make a Chris documentary".
If I may be so bold as to ask:
What parts of Chris's life are you focusing on?
What's the topic, in general, about your documentary? Is it just about Chris, or is Chris an example you use for an overall picture?

Sorry for the late reply, but i start from the beginning all the way up to current events.

Even if it's a good documentary, this forum is going to blow up about it because there are such polarized opinions about the meaning and significance of Chris. Spylobster has said that he's had to be very selective, understandable for a one-hour documentary. This means that he had to make choices that many people will disagree with. There will be a million questions like, "Why didn't you talk about X?" "Why did you emphasize Y?" Spylobster will have to come down somewhere on the white knight-alog spectrum, and many will not be pleased.

If I had to make a documentary about Chris, I would try to "teach the controversy," so to speak. It would have to acknowledge the ethical debate about trolling, how responsible Chris is for his fucked up life, etc.

All I'm saying is that the coming shitstorm is not necessarily connected to the actual quality of Spylobster's work, so he shouldn't get demoralized.

Also, it's since, not sense.

I've seen maybe one, 20 minute documentary on the Sonichu comics that I thought was worth the watch, if not particularly funny (it did have moments) it was done well enough and conveyed the point. I'll probably watch it even if it isn't funny, share it with people who have a similar interest in Chris and that will be that. I'm glad you're doing something more than just talk. Godspeed.

Anyway, I'd just like to congratulate you for being a step above the rest. Usually people just announce they are doing a thing and then expect people to wait eagerly until it's done. You've clearly already done a lot of it.

Yeah, and I don't expect it to be amazing. Don't anticipate anything watch it if you'd like whether you like it or not is whatever, id be more happy that someone took the time to at least view my input.

Thank you, and I am trying to add more into it as like a fandom, and a sensation kind of thing. Talking about a group while still focusing on the Chan man so it doesn't seem like i'm just sitting here telling you "look wat he do".

I would give this person credit for that. Doing it anyway and not harping on it until it's finally there (not like the one or two that simply wanted cash to go to wherever in Virginia and talk to these guys who knew Chris and what-not).

Now I'm thinking it would be fun to have a dramatization/reenactment of that scene where Sarah locks Chris in the crawlspace, but I'm sure that's not gonna happen.

Ashxtually, your not far off from what I had intended to do. I realized that if i re-enacted some scenes like in a Jeffrey Dahmer documentary I would end up having to do some of the stupid things like pickle suit dates And that would take away in my personal opinion the mostly serous tone I try to go for.

I think that's a good way to do it. Just stay as unbiased as you can and let the viewer decide. I think it would be hilarious if you can point out something he does that a stranger would chalk up to his autism, but then follow up with something else about him that can convince the same stranger otherwise. His quest for Megan followed by the drawing, for example. Chris being his own best troll will work in your favor here.

A new account might be a good idea, since he has a history of "doxxing" people, but on the other hand nothing ever happens from it so it probably is not a big deal.

Great work, can't wait!

Mucho respecto, OP. I wanted to do something similar when I studied psychology in university, but ultimately decided against it. Good on you for putting in the hard yards, 10/10 will watch.

I'm genuinely impressed here. This is competent. Interesting, even.

I tip my Syandana to you, my good man. I'm interested in seeing where you go with this.
