Free the People Wins at Anthem Film Festival! Again!

We’ve struck gold at the Anthem Film Festival! Again! Our viral comedy short, Censorship Royal, a razor-sharp James Bond parody skewering Britain’s online speech crackdown, snagged Best Comedy Short. Reposted by none other than Elon Musk, this gem from our Comedy is Murder series racked up a staggering 40 million views. Why comedy? Because when people laugh, their defenses drop, and our message of liberty sneaks right in. This marks our seventh Anthem win, and trust us, we’re not tired of winning yet!

But Anthem is just one piece of the puzzle at FreedomFest, where we connect with the liberty movement’s brightest minds and curious newcomers. Our team lit up the stage: Matt Kibbe, Lou Perez, and executive producer Matt Battaglia screened more of our comedy shorts, to roars of laughter. Our digital marketing maven, Sara Higdon, tackled the thorny topic of gender politics, offering libertarians a playbook for navigating the stupefying essence of postmodernism. Topping off the conference, Matt Kibbe hosted a powerhouse panel, Libertarianism 2.0, featuring Dr. Bret Weinstein. This was a dry-run for a series of deeper conversations we are planning with Bret for a new video series of the same name.

Matt almost talked his face off, recording nine new Kibbe on Liberty podcast episodes with heavyweights like Steve Forbes, Michael Malice, Bret Weinstein, and my favorite, Chef Andrew Gruel. I half-expected him to lose his voice, but he’s a machine! Keep an eye out for these episodes dropping soon.

As I write this, our team’s busy at PorcFest in the Free State of New Hampshire, where libertarians have gathered to celebrate the freeing of Ross Ulbricht, whose unjust imprisonment became a battle cry for the “Porcupines” here over a decade ago. More on Ross, and his relentless advocate mom, Lyn Ulbricht, coming soon.

Here’s to more laughs, more wins, and more freedom.
