I watched this again today before work. Am I the only one that was glad to see that Calabashes got some love towards the end of the trailer?

 

[dapperg]

Hell yeah! I contributed $25 and will be throwing down some more here soon. BTW Pipe Novelist, great share and thanks for turning me onto this site! A bunch of great dudes on here!

Looks very cool, welcome DapperG!

 

[chuckienorton]

This doc looks so interesting! I'm very bummed it wasn't funded. Hopefully they can rally & still make it happen!

 

[05venturer]

There's a lot of idealistic indy filmmakers who eschew commercial support, thinking it's something of a "sell out."

what an odd thought (not by you Roth, by the film makers). How do they suppose sets get built, equipment gets purchased, people earn a living to put food on their tables? If money is so evil and corrosive, they could always give it away, burn it or fund other like minded indie film makers.

I wonder why they didn't use Kickstarter instead. Has much more exposure, and success. $75K is way to much to ask for, $15K would do it, you're telling people right off the bat it's not going to raise the money. The prize tree is wrong, again research would have helped here. I know many people that have gone through the Kickstarter process, and some research should have been done on how to get the movie made. They did a great job on a promo video, but lacked scenes of hobby makers, and the all important sit down talk at the end. Tried to hard to make the promo a movie and not a request for funds.

Just thoughts and things I know others have gone through.
Oh, grats on the gig!

Looks like an interesting project. It would be great if they could get some funding for it.

 

[smedz]

Very cool...will love to see the finished product!

 

[hfearly]

Not gonna happen, according to their project website:
$1,180 Raised of $75,000 Goal

0 days left
They were not able to fund the movie.

 

[olewaylon]

its to bad this project didnt make it to completion. sign of the times i guess.

 

[kcghost]

We need to find out what the actual status of this project is and if it is possible to get it moving. I would thing if we could get this site, Pipes & Tobaccos magazine, and the UPCA talking about this some real money could be raised. I am going to email these guys and see what is cooking.
