The Worldwide Filmmakers' Union (or WWFMU) is the name of a group and community owned by BerkleyGaussian and operated by a collective of users, some of which were formerly members of Thirteeniverse, who began making Barney Bunch videos around 2021, alongside other miscellaneous videos. They are commonly associated with people in the closing logo and home media communities respectively, and they began to become active in the Speakonia Community following when BerkleyGaussian decided to continue The Drew Pickles Show, originally a Thirteeniverse project produced by the late Gary21115/*WaRnEr*. Various members of the WWFMU are also on the Speakonia server.
History
The Worldwide Filmmakers' Union originally started out under the name Powerhouse of Entertainment (or POE for short) in late 2014 as a Google+ group owned by Lamont Meeks (best known as "SLN! Media Group"). It went through various different names and incarnations on Google+, MeWe and Discord in more recent times. After Lamont was ousted for pedophilia and other horrible crimes, he was later exiled from the community, and Duncan Burden took over as the owner. He started the previous recent incarnation (UFMG) in early-2021. For quite some time, it was consolidated onto Neon Krome's Discord server (then known as the "Hellhole") until August 2022 when a drama outbreak caused said server to close down, leading the UFMG to split off from said server and once again become its' own server.
BerkleyGaussian went on to create a pretty big movie while at the time being an indirect member due to him still undergoing recovery from previous controversies at that time. It was a more vulgar modern-day remake of CaybyJ's GoAnimate: The Movie, called Wrapper: Offline: The Movie. It was so well received that they eventually decided to let him back onto the server as a direct member. Not too long after when things began to die down, he started to be the showrunner for The Drew Pickles Show, where it would now be produced and distributed by various fictional UFMG company stand-ins. After the first 3 episodes he decided to explain himself to parts of the Speakonia Community, putting all the controversies surrounding him to rest and debunking the stuff that was false while owing up to the stuff that is true, though it wouldn't be until a couple weeks or so later that he would eventually be allowed to be on the Speakonia server. Not too long after, various other UFMG members decided to join the server as well, with RoboticBloxxer also joining the UFMG server himself.
In May 2023, it was revealed that Duncan groomed a minor by drawing NSFW art of them. As a result, Tom Cat resigned as admin and took various parodies he established with him, and Duncan himself would be kicked from the Speakonia Discord server, with him deleting the UFMG (not before creating a server template, however, which Keegan ended up making good use out of), and any projects he was associated with were canceled/scrapped entirely, with Keegan taking his place as the head of the group, rebranding it into its current name and iteration.
Members responsible for The Drew Pickles Show
The WWFMU has more than 50 members, both indirect and on-server. It is for this reason we are only mentioning the direct members involved with the show.
- BerkleyGaussian
Keegan Salisbury, aka Keegan J.S. or BerkleyGaussian is a content creator and jack-of-all-trades who is the current head of the WWFMU. He is the current showrunner and producer of The Drew Pickles Show, and currently serves as the WWFMU's stand-in for New Line Cinema, Imagine Entertainment and Mohawk Productions, Inc. (Bruce Helford) respectively. (Old School Cinema, Salisbury Entertainment and Mullet Productions, Inc.)
Anything produced by him would be made under First National Television, because since they're currently having First National go by the Warner Bros. Discovery era (or First National Explorer in this instance), Old School Television would be folded into First National Television.
- Sam20
Sam20 is one of the admins, and he was poised to be one of the showrunners for The Drew Pickles Show following the passing of Gary21115 before Maestro Keegan took on that position. He currently serves as the WWFMU's stand-in for Warner Bros. Pictures, currently in the Warner Bros. Discovery era. (First National Pictures/First National Explorer)
