be HEARD - Reserve list. Longest Interviewing Marathon for Founders
be HEARD. Reserve List
A world record attempt to interview 59 founders back-to-back lives or dies on one thing: everyone showing up.
Life happens. Business happens. Even with the best intentions, founders pull out at the last minute. When that happens during a 59-hour attempt with no gaps allowed, we need someone ready to go, and fast.
That's where you come in.
What you're signing up for
You're joining a reserve list of Bristol-local founders who can get to Films at 59 within 90 minutes of a call.
If a founder pulls out — at 6pm on a Friday or 3am on a Saturday, we call you. You're in the chair. Your story gets heard. The attempt stays alive.
The deal
No cost. Reserve list slots are completely free.
You get everything a paid founder gets if you're called in: 1-hour interview, podcast episode, 5+ short-form clips, the lot.
You must be Bristol based (within 30 minutes of Films at 59 at all times during the event).
You must be reachable for the full 11–13 September window, phone on, ready to roll.
First come, first called. When we need a reserve, we call down the list in order.
What we need from you
Your mobile
A 60-second WhatsApp message so we know your story before we call
The willingness to drop everything when we ring
What this means
If you get called, you save the attempt. You're not a backup. You're a fail-safe.
Without exaggeration, this list is the safety net for the entire campaign.
