Sharing has been their business model from the get-go as far as I can tell (I am a backer).

Looks pretty epic for 100k. Nice work!

Even if the movie sucks, which I’m sure it won’t, I’m incredibly impressed with the fact that they have been so faithful with their video blogs – a significant undertaking all on its own.

Yes, must be a bummer to see little immediate financial return but I can see that this will help them enormously in the long run. If I remember correctly this is supposed to be a multi-part series, so they may charge for future releases once a fan base is built.

Big fan of these guys. Amazing undertaking. Really love this kind of ballsy indie gumption and skill, very inspiring. And really looking forward to the release.

Andreas, maybe as it’s five shorts, not a single film, a more comprehensive narrative trailer was thought too problematic? Or even just the workload. Obviously a ridiculous amount of work in there. Possibly a case of not wanting to leave out so many favourite shots, but I doubt it. There are also trailers/promos which are more mood/sizzle kind of deals and I took this as such, which I still found enjoyable. But I do understand what your saying. And could just be me. I loved the trailer for Cloud Atlas, showed it to my son, and he goes… what the hell is that movie supposed to be about? :))

production diaries are pretty inspiring
but the trailer feels strange. as if they tried to put everything in it without caring for structure.

hope the cut of the film is better!
good luck to them

They are gonna give that away for free? That seems silly to me.

I’m truly impressed by the technical ingenuity by these folks. There’s not much more I can say about this. Good post!
