A lot of my works fit #solarpunk but I discovered the genre recently and so this film is the first I'm making with it in mind. meaning I have to carefully create the futurism aesthetics to fit. I imagine a world without central governments or the police or capitalism, and I'm seeking your support to create this future.

On embracing solarpunk in my stories

I discuss the various genres that I work in, including Africanfuturism, afrofuturism, and solarpunk, and why I'm embracing the later as my preferred genre.

^{Dilman Dila}

#solarpunk spoke to me for it is all about activism, imagining a future we would all want to live in. There is the tech and aesthetics to depict, but there is also the worldview, for clean energy without social justice is greenwashing! In this #film I imagine direct democracy in a sustainable world free from capitalism. Help me make it! Share with your friends or donate if you can!

I'm making a film in the #solarpunk genre, live action (rather than animation) set in the near future for I want to imagine practical alternatives to capitalism. Given recent events in #us and other places battling fascism, I envision a world where direct democracy is possible, so no central governments, politicians, or police/military. Help me make it!

I'm #crowdfunding for a film via my website as I'm excluded from major platforms (I'm based on the wrong continent) I've developed it since 2018 and will shoot next year, but I have to figure out the vfx needed to envision this futuristic world with no capitalism, where direct democracy thrives.

Wind: A Solarpunk Short Film

I'm making a new short film, which I'll release on my PeerTube channel. It is a final target practice for a feature film (titled Big Tree) that I intend to shoot next year, themed on direct democracy in a near-future solarpunk world.

^{Dilman Dila}

The generous donations today leave me breathless with thanks! I'm closer to reaching my first goal to make this film that imagines a future with no government so we have direct democracy; no police so we use traditional justice systems; no capitalism so no poverty. It's a dream worth having! Your support will help me envision this future.

The first two weeks of this #crowdfund is good! I didn't expect so much so soon! Thank you very much for your love to this #solarpunk short film! It's a future with no central governments, no politicians, no police, and tech exists to make every village largely self-sufficient. I need your support to envision this future.

I woke up to generous donations so we are at 262/2000. Thank you so much for pushing me closer to visualising my vision of the future, a #solarpunk world with direct democracy and every village has some level of self-sufficiency, so no corrupt politicians and no capitalism. I'm doing it through a short film, and since I'm excluded from platforms like #kickstarter I have to rely on your word of mouth.

Someone asked if ostracism in my shortfilm fits #solarpunk I borrow from pre-colonial cultures to imagine how communities will handle crime yet there's no government/police using violence/jail in the name of justice.They will use rituals of reconciliation/restorative justice, but if a person is unrepentant/unwilling to pay compensatory fines, they get banished.

Now at 354/2000 four days after I started a campaign to use a dark comedy film to envision a #solarpunk future with no central government, no politicians, no military - everyone participates in running the country and they use restorative justice to handle crime with banishment as last resort.

I'm crowdfunding for my new short film, a #solarpunk story focused on direct democracy, and need your support. I can't do a kickstarter since all such platforms only allow creators from particular countries, excluding mine, yet I really want to imagine a future without capitalism and central governments. There are lots of perks for each $$ you can spare!

THEY DID IT!!!!

My local library built the seed library!

The local Master Gardeners provided a lot of the intitial seeds (oh my gosh we are stocked!!!). They used an old card catalogue to store them. Today's the kickoff!

The idea is you "check out seeds" from the library, plant/grow/harvest, let some go to seed, then "return the seeds" back to the library!

Free seeds for everyone!

Went out and distributed food to our neighbors at the food pantry tonight.

We had enough left over afterwards to stock up the community pantry & free fridge.

We ran out of room. So I took boxes of fresh turnips and boxes of cereal home for storage. I'll push them out to the community fridge and pantry this week as there is room.

We have the literal ability to feed everyone for free. And we can. And we are.

I know that some of you all wondered what happened to Merlin Star after they closed their public account on Mastodon.

Well, they recently posted this: merlinjstar.com/2023/10/24/thi…

Seems they aren't doing as well as hoped. They also gave mutual aid links at the end of the blog post.

Anyways, donate if you can, boost if you can't.
