YOUR BLACK BREAK SINCE 2016
The truth is, keeping something like this alive doesn’t happen on its own. It requires consistent care, time, and resources to hold it up.
​
Until now, that has meant depending on systems that were never built to sustain work like this in the first place.
​
The Patron’s Circle is our way of being honest about that. It’s how we make sure You Had Me at Black continues—held by the people who love it, rather than relying on sponsors or grants that can’t guarantee its future.
​
Just 2,100 members at $20/month can sustain the next chapter of this work.
SET YOUR MEMBERSHIP RATE
The Patron's Circle has no levels or tiers.
Most join somewhere between $10–$50/month, depending on what feels sustainable for them.
