Lot of benefits, low participation : Giveaways all year long (Arts, Posters, Goodies, CDs, MP3, Discounts, Festival Invitations, ….) but also polls and tracks requests ! The more longer you keep your subscription activated, the more you increase your chances to get high value rewards. You contribute with few pennies to HSL existence.

You get the handcrafted rewards within a price range we originally considered to build it. The benefits we gets from it are essentially reinvested to provide rich content and pay our amazing HSL Team. The same one who provides you dedicated and private content, whitch is impossible to get in any other way (maybe on some pirate eDonkey, but does eDonkey still exists ?). There is not even a chance to get a demo or free trial.

This is massive. in addition to crowdfund HSL, your money is saved to produce deep investigations. Plus, you co-produces it ! From employees to hire to budget to allocate to each division (guests, travels, post-production). We build it together. Joining the HSLCrew is defitnly to put on your “100 things to do before you die” lists !!

You can get the HSL Journal for only 2.61 $ /week. This is our most beautiful reward and we dediced to kept culture accessible to all. Worldwide delivery is included, but for printing and shipping reasons, we can’t produces it on a weekly basis. We build 6 editions per year, but the deep reviews we provides doesn’t requieres a immediate publishing for a immediate consumption anyway. Feel free to check it out !

Because most of your donations are international, and because we allows credit to pay weekly, when we need 0.50 $, we need to ask 1.00 $. There are currency conversion fees (usualy 5%), international fees (usualy 3%), but the most annoying one is this fixed fees of 0.40 $, which means when you give 1 $ each week, bank keeps 0.40 $ in addition to 0.08 $ fees. So when bank announces a 3% fee, it’s sometimes a 48% fees. yeah 48%, I don’t typed miscorrectly the digits.

And we need an ingeneers diploma to understood the ways this fees are continuously changing, whitout any calculator, in order to keep you lost with an opaque communication. So we really wanted to ask for 0.50, 1, and 2 dollars, but we must ask 1.02 $, 1.58 $ or 2.16 $. Which turns our prices policy a little bit confusing and hard to memorize. But if we asks 0.50 $, we get zero ! So we don’t have other choice to charges you for this, and warns you that prices are subject to change anytime.

Keep in mind we have 3 formats, and choose simply the right one, according the amount of donation you wish provide. With HSL Producer you can give up to 2.16 $ weekly with only digital goods is exchange (no costs to produces) and you can also starting 2.61 $ to get material HSL Journal, which costs a lot and provides absolutely no benefits ! If you can afford annuals plans, we can only recommand you to use it, in order to avoid huge bank fees costs… For crowdfunding purposes, we have a no refund policy.
