​I’m building the Cellar Talks studio from scratch—no sponsors, no backing.
This only gets built if early supporters step in.
Cellar Talks is an independent long-form conversation series produced by Rustic Lens Cinema.

This project is being built from the ground up inside a private cellar studio designed to create an atmosphere where guests can step away from public performance and speak honestly about their lives, experiences, and convictions.

​Your support helps make that possible.

What Your Support Helps Fund
​
Contributions go directly toward the practical work of building and launching the show, including:

• The cellar studio build and set construction​
• Recording and post-production for the first run of episodes
• The production runway needed to properly launch Cellar Talks

​This project is being built carefully and intentionally so the environment, production quality, and conversations are done right from the beginning.

Why This Project Matters

Modern media is increasingly built around speed, confrontation, and performance.

Cellar Talks is being built as the opposite of that.

The goal is to create a place where meaningful conversations can happen — conversations that explore the realities behind public identity, success, failure, conviction, doubt, and personal history.

​Support from viewers helps keep the project independent and free from outside editorial control.

Transparency
​
Contributions support an independent media project and are not tax-deductible.

​Donations do not provide ownership, equity, or editorial influence. They are voluntary contributions made to support the creation of the project.

Founding Supporters

The cellar studio and Cellar Talks are being built independently from the ground up.

Early supporters who choose to contribute during the studio build become part of the Founding Supporters group that helped bring the project to life.

The first 25 supporters will be recognized as the original backers who helped build this studio from the ground up.​
​
This project exists because people believe meaningful conversations still matter.

​
Founding supporters will be acknowledged unless they prefer to remain anonymous.
