The producers have asked me to pass on that they will have an announcement soon and possibly as early as tomorrow.
I contacted them via the website to see if and when it may be released in New Zealand but as yet have received no reply.
Hey guys, thanks for your interest in our film! I totally appreciate the never-to-be-finished-film jokes. It's felt like that for us too, believe me. But as our first film and a passion project on the side, things just take a long time for each step, and there are lots of steps to pull off a film of this scope. That said (and very long story short), thanks to our successful premiere at the Chicago International Film Festival, we are now working towards meaningful distribution in early 2019! This means it will be available for both VOD and hopefully hard copies (Blu Ray / DVD) for pipe fans and those unfamiliar with the hobby alike. So as soon as the weather warms, check out your windows for airborne pork and unexpectedly cold temperatures deep underground. ;-)
We have a few more funds to raise, so to help with that we're also selling some pipes Lee Erck made and donated that are look-a-likes to the one made in the film. You can learn more about those and get a more in-depth update here: https://mailchi.mp/a98a48df299d/ftf-2018-year-end-update
Thanks, Craig for your coming out to see the film in Chicago this October and letting us know this thread has been started. We're hoping to get the film into more public screenings this year, both festivals and pipe clubs alike. Hopefully we can make something happen at the CPCC show as well.
Hit me up with any questions, and of course, everything is totally make of star dust. :-D
All the best!

Hey Crash, I took off my DeKalb corn seed cap, put on shoes, and went to the big city to see the debut and am damned glad I did! :wink:
In all seriousness, the film was a wonderful portrait of the pipe community. It's remarkable that this fine documentary got made, regardless of how long and difficult the journey may have been.
While there may have been a time when kind-hearted joking was appropriate, that time is over. The film is a reality and is really, really good and very polished. I spoke to a few folks in the lobby after the premiere who knew nothing about pipes and watched only because it was the only film showing at that time that sounded interesting. They said that they enjoyed it. Let's support these guys!

And Chad, please contact me if you want to arrange something at the Chicago Show. We'd love to promote your film.
Thanks for posting the update Chad, and congratulations on the film. I'm really looking forward to the DVD.
That's precisely what I've always suspected.
I don't know what that junior stormtrooper is really saying, but it's definitely not "I'm doing my part". Must be some kind of subliminal subversive message.
There was a series of Father the Flame bulldog pipes made from vintage Chacom stummels and an English-style C&D Father the Flame tobacco blend, both of which supported production of the documentary.
