Yours or not? It looks pretty well shot. Is it going to be a feature length film? And how is it being distributed? [last edit 11/6/2012 11:36 AM by CatAndTie - edited 1 times] "Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." - Andre Gide

Posted by Zero Kind of curious as to why they needed a kickstarter for the project unless there is a hidden fee to exploring I've managed to avoid up till now.

that is why you work to obtain this equipment instead of asking for financial handouts.
Given everything about this project seems to be aimed towards getting money out of exploring and explorers, even before said exploring is done, I wouldn't expect there to be a "hard work" ethos.
Unless I'm mistaken and this is indeed a free to view project in which case, maybe, I can see an asking for money as a means to break even if you aim to give back to the community? Otherwise, no. [last edit 12/1/2012 2:35 AM by Zero - edited 1 times]

The money from the Kickstarter isn't the only money we used. There was a substantial amount that came out of our pockets prior to the Kickstarter. A Kickstarter is exactly what it's called. It gave us the Kickstart we needed to get the film rolling. People weren't just giving us money, they get something for the money they pledged. We are using the money to produce a quality film for the viewer.
This film isn't about making money. It's not even about exploring. It's about urban abandonment and the subcultures that surround it. Yes, we will be selling DVD's. After all that we've spent, time and money-wise, we won't come close to breaking even.
If you have anymore concerns feel free to express them to us directly.

So are you guys going for a feature length film? And what are your plans to distribute once it's done? How close are you to finishing? "Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." - Andre Gide

It will be feature length. We are going to have DVD's for sale online and in a few local businesses around Richmond. It may be in a few festivals around the US, if all goes as planned. We have started piecing together the film in editing, but we do have a couple more segments to film.

Can you film the segment of you asking for others people's money to accomplish your own goals? I just drove four hours total today to shoot something. Can people send me gas & toll money? Ill allow you to view my photos in return. http://www.flickr.com/photos/toefu/

Dang son, you should have done a kickstarter, begged on a forum or started a thread whoring out ya shit. Apparently that's all the rage these days. No doubt you'd have gotten millions!
