Big News!
We are pleased to announce that Tara Strong and Lauren Faust have joined us as executive producers of the documentary. Both bring amazing talent and exciting ideas that will help make this film even better.
We are also announcing a new funding push. The response to our casting call was overwhelming. There are so many amazing and inspiring stories out there. We can’t tell them all, but with your help we can include lots of them. As you may know we started out as a documentary essentially covering a convention, which is taking place over a few days, but we want to do more. We want to take viewers into the homes of the amazing people who identify as Bronies. This costs money. We have to pay for travel and hotels, crew members and equipment rentals.
Our new goal is $200,000. So how do we get there? We’ve added some great rewards – so please consider upping your pledge. From having your pony OC drawn by Lauren to getting your Blu-ray disk and artwork signed by Tara, Lauren and John to having dinner with all three, we have something for everyone.
Please spread the word to help us drive toward the goal, which will help make this possible. If you know anyone who has not already made a pledge, please direct him or her to the Kickstarter campaign.
We are also set up for those who only have Paypal. They can participate at http://www.bronydoc.com/ Since those totals don't get added to Kickstarter, you will find updates with the contributions made via Paypal periodically in the comments section.

I concur with Alan. I honestly can say that I do not have a single blu-ray playing device in my household.
Creator Michael Brockhoff on June 3, 2012
@lan De Smet
Will think about your request.
Creator Alan De Smet on June 3, 2012
Might it be possible to get a slightly discounted version of the $75 level that offers a digital download of the extended interviews? The blu-ray videos aren't very useful for those of us who decided to skip this generation of physical media and move straight to downloads and streaming.
Creator Kyle Haeberle on June 2, 2012
Ohhh we got this $200, 000 in the BAG!
Creator BVM on June 1, 2012
oh, I added the extra 10$ for the international shipping, didn't see that in time
Creator BVM on June 1, 2012
pledged 250$ from France :p, I'm unemployed but I don't care, I really want to see that documentary :)
Creator Vance King on June 1, 2012
Considering how kickstarter isn't listing anyone that has donated via paypal, i'm betting at as of right now we are just shy of 175,000, that it's more than like WELL over the $200,000 goal. 9 days... raise another $50,000? Get a few more cast members to pop in perhaps. Might need to reserve a much larger table for the wine and dine.
Really wish I could be more a part of this.
Creator Charles Richards on May 31, 2012
bumped my pledge, think we'll make another 41k in 9 days?
Creator Jo Bell on May 31, 2012
Just donated $100 to this project. I am now super broke, but I don't regret a thing. :)
Creator Charles Carson on May 30, 2012
If I had 10000 dollars, nay if I had 1000000, I would give it all to see this be as awesome as it can be... but alas I do not. So I contributed what my college sized coffers allowed. I am so thrilled that this is happening and can't wait to see it come to fruition! Thank you so much!!!
Creator PanxoPetit on May 30, 2012
Eeeyup, 75$ it is.
Creator Nikolai Geier on May 28, 2012
Now I really need to up my pledge to $75 bucks for the interviews. Wish I could afford the signed disk, but that's pushing things a bit for me. XD
Creator Cordovan Splotch on May 28, 2012
Oooh... I'm seriously considering upping my pledge from 200 to 250.
Creator CommunistPrime on May 28, 2012
Aw man, I payed more than that for the Applejack sketch I've got chillin' on my wall right now :c
Creator Jeremiah Reagan on May 28, 2012
My vision just blurred, and when it came back my pledge was upped. I didn't even know I had that money. Makes me wish I could take a loan from myself 3-4 years in the future when I've finished a masters program, have become a petrophysicist, and am ridiculously well paid and able to throw $3000 around or actually fly to BronyCon from the west coast.
Creator Luke Owen on May 28, 2012
Makes me wish I wasn't a poor college student :D
Creator AJ Ferolie on May 27, 2012
I jumped to 750 so I could get into that Q&A and signing. I want John to sign my Discord Plushie. I need to get a Twilight Plushie for Tara to sign.I suppose I can bring m Galaxy Girl thing for Tara to sign
Creator Dann on May 27, 2012
I'm sure there are bronies out there who would be honoured to give you guys a place to stay instead of having to rent hotel rooms. I know I would, but I don't know how comfortable or feasible it is for professionals.
Anyhow, best of luck! This just gets better and better!
Creator Cameron Forrester on May 27, 2012
That would be so amazing to donate $3000 and have your OC drawn by Lauren Faust herself... that would be a dream come true for any brony.
Creator Aaron Cuevas on May 27, 2012
I so wish I could add more money to the pledge, but I'm pretty limited at the moment. Will there be any alternate way to be able to watch the extended interview?
Creator Adrienne D'Agostino on May 27, 2012
Holy cow! I wish I wasn't trying to survive on a grad student budget! Alas, my $30 will have to suffice. :(
Super congratulations on the addition of Strong and Faust to the team, though!
Creator Hazen Nester on May 27, 2012
Did same.
Creator Sander Vermeire on May 27, 2012
