Gonzo Returns: Callaghan Reclaims All Gas, No Brakes
16 Apr
Summary
- Creator Andrew Callaghan has resurrected his beloved web series.
- All Gas, No Brakes will focus on subcultures, avoiding politics.
- Callaghan regained full ownership via Patreon donations and film revenue.
The distinctive Gonzo-style web series, All Gas, No Brakes, is set to return, with creator Andrew Callaghan regaining complete control. Callaghan, a journalism graduate, has revived the project after a contractual dispute that halted its initial run in March 2021. The series, known for its raw vérité style and exploration of American subcultures, will now be an affiliate of Channel 5, a venture Callaghan also helms.
Callaghan secured full ownership of the All Gas, No Brakes intellectual property, brand rights, and social media pages. This comeback was financed through Patreon donations and income from his documentary, 'Dear Kelly,' which chronicled a man's radicalization following a foreclosure. The resurrected series will deliberately avoid political coverage, a stark contrast to some of his work with Channel 5.
Instead, the new episodes will delve into topics like alien conferences and micronations, focusing on tight-knit communities. Callaghan views this as a vital exploration of belonging in an era of community collapse. He aims to expand Channel 5 into a larger media enterprise, but insists on keeping All Gas, No Brakes apolitical, seeking a return to its "pure state of mind."
