We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on December 1, 2010.

      Thanks for the update, Christopher -- it's relieving to hear that, despite the problems, you're still making progress. Some things are worth the wait, but do please keep us updated more often to make that wait seem shorter and more worthwhile. For example, I'd have quite liked to see that lengthy answer (which I've now read) that you posted in a blog comment as a blog post instead, or better yet, a Kickstarter update. It was very enlightening. :) Looking forward to the new detailed update soon.

      Hey everyone; I'm sorry for the gaps between updates, but it is insanely frustrating not to have anything substantial to report! The overwhelming technical issues my team and I have struggled with during the past year and a half are slowly being resolved, but as typically occurs, new elements arise just as older problems are eliminated. I am grateful to see the light at the end of the tunnel now, after much strenuous effort by my tech guys Michael & Jason, and I will get a new & detailed update put together soon. The rough ETA you asked about, Dean, is a work-print finished by September with actual completion by the end of the year.

      The last update was in January 2013 -- what is the timeline for this project's completion at this point? The project is nearing the 2.5-year mark. Thank you!

      Is there some kind of schedule or timeline associated with this project?

      Hey Dan, I feel your frustration -- believe me! I have been attempting to document the struggles and progress made on theprice-movie.com; I wonder if you have read this Production Blog yet: http://www.theprice-movie.com/the-price-2/on-needing-a-bigger-boat/ (you can look down in the comments section to a rather lengthy answer I gave to someone asking for more details). I am doing the very best I can given the circumstances, but I felt it important to acknowledge what happened last week in Connecticut; my family means more to me than anything, and my heart is heavy for the suffering these people are having to face.

      The tragedy in Newtown is horrible. It's nice that you are taking time to suggest to others how they can help.

      However, you are TWO YEARS late on delivering on this project. Your Updates are few and far apart, and for the most part not very informative in regards to schedule.

      How about focusing a bit more and delivering on your promises.

      Sorry Naarah, but things are a little hectic here. I may not get a chance to send out a confirmation right away, but any address updates I receive are immediately added to the data base folder, so all is well -- I certainly didn't mean to stress you out! :)

      I love how you weaved explanations about kickstarter into your video of "the price". I also love the "white out" effect for transition as a way to show time passing in an interview. you are talented! good for you...i'm proud of you! your project and the success it saw on kickstarter is hope that a new economic paradigm is possible. People just doing what they love and being supported by others through gifts. the gift economy is alive and well! :)

      Creator Shelley Hooper on December 1, 2010

      I'm so glad we made goal! I got involved because it's a Gaiman story, even though I haven't read it yet!, and because it's an independent venture, because it's true to the story size and not some adrenalized, forced, spectacle of a full length movie, and most importantly because this is a project of the heart, from a fan, and as a fellow artist I'm so glad to see this kind of project happen. It gives me hope that art can have a life beyond that which is commercially viable and/or pretentious, propagandist, elitist, separated from the masses. The people have spoken!!!!!!!

      Amazon told me my pledge had been refused and I nearly burst into tears at work, with disappointment :( Hadn't noticed my card had expired. All sorted now, just bring on the movie and wait for the awards to start coming in! (it will win stuff, I like to plan ahead)

      My (nearly) three year old daughter just caught a glimpse of the video a minute ago and said "I want THAT movie!" My thoughts exactly. Am so proud to be a backer - sorry I couldn't afford more. A film as special and magical as this deserves every penny - thank you for making it for us.
