Chris Chan Documentary.

I've never understood the desire to reflexively crap on anyone trying to make an original take on CWC. I get that there are some people who talk a lot and do nothing, but there are deliverables here.

I do think that Chris-Chan could be a fantastic story if done well. As it would be utterly immoral and cruel to deliberately test defective means of raising a child, the role of case studies is critical from a Sociological Point of View.

Christian Weston Chandler has the genetics of a somewhat nerdy engineer and an seductress /clerical mother, and even when the genetic dice rolled Autism he could have been radically different. Their choices, and Chris' choices, made Chris who he is today--and what a sad setup that is.

Maybe Chris' greatest contribution to the world will be gaining the attention of two other overwhelmed parents, struggling to raise an autistic child, and recognizing after seeing Chris that they cannot mainstream or ignore his differences and how very badly that may fail. His failed existence may spur others to make those different choices.

Best of luck on the Documentary and I look forward to watching it.
 
I never thought that a CWC documentary would become reality. All previous pitches have "WEEN" written all over them. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product, and what viewers will think about the subject matter.

OP, I wish you well on completing your project. I'm sure it will turn out great.
 
I've been wanting to try the same thing lately. Fortunately, you beat me to it.

Looking forward to it. Good luck on your grade.

A couple suggested models:

The Devil and Daniel Johnston (about a much more likable outsider artist with a certain amount of commercial success)
Capturing the Friedmans (about a rather disturbing family where a father and son very well may be child molesters and the son pled guilty)
 
Like everyone else, I was ready to slap on the dumb rating, report and move on.
However, it looks like you're doing more than just throwing a bunch of YouTube videos in WMM, trying to contact Chris, and ask us for money.
I'm curious to see the interview with the Special Ed teacher, actually I'm pretty interested to see this.
The biggest problem in the past was there wasn't really anything a documentary could teach us that we didnt already know, but the aforementioned interview is gonna be interesting, maybe insightful.

I was actually inspired by a jeffrey dahmer documentary, mostly because they take very little things to view but take a story and tell it good enough to were you want to watch it. I have watched it like three times.

Well the main reason I wanted to make it was because, I had no real way of explaining chris without sounding like a cyberbully dick. And when people would ask me what my movie was about in class I would just say its so hard to explain BUT once you see the movie you will understand.

The only thing I would caution here is trying to make the film seem defensive, i.e. this isn't cyberbullying, it's just for the ebic lulz! Maintaining objectivity is your best defence here - keep your own interpretations to a bare minimum and let the footage and documentation speak for itself.

If you can find it, check out Winnebago Man:


It's general format would work well for a docu on Chris-Tran.

So I haven't checked in on this. Is this actually happening? Like, I know there's been some hype but is it confirmed?

Show, don't tell.

Threads about documentaries are usually insta-lock to me. Until I see an actual video, I'm skeptical.
 
I think the idea of a Chris documentary, whilst obvious and annoying to see as a post from weens, is something I'm for if it actually got done.

The Cwcville Library is nearing 700 videos and even if you watched the most played, you wouldn't understand everything. Someone willing to sift through the shit (Mario Kart, Legos, even some calls) and get the main things that really define Chris. (The belief in a toonworld, his dirty crapped briefs, all of Sonichu, etc) would be good for new people (to avoid weening) and interesting to some old timers who haven't heard just about everything about Chris. To this day I still havent finished reading the mailbags.

Also, I recommend you try and get people involved from here. Especially those with Christorical Figure of True and Honest Fan tags, I also recommend you ask around here what the best parts of each saga were so you can present the saga as we all felt them, that way you get a real insiders look.

I look forward to seeing the finished product, you could do a segment about why we're all so drawn to Chris if you need to fill time too, just filter out weens.


My pitch for the title: Chris Chan: From Empathy to Pity.

Mostly because I always initially was inclined to feel bad for Chris, but now I feel he's brought this on himself.
