I was wondering what happened with this project. Is it dead? Is there anything to show? I would suggest you give a really thorough update Nicholas no matter what the information is. Being communicative is critical for this process and for personal reputations.
Creator Charlie Gibson on April 8
Honestly Danny I feel like that is a really legitimate response. I just wish we could hear more about the project. To jump to such conclusions is a bit rash.
Creator danny on March 28
for all backers below is a an email from Nicholas. It seems he reads the posts but cant supply an update:
Danny -- I haven't invested almost fifty thousand dollars of my own money into this film just to "scam" a paltry few thousand from you guys. We are behind schedule, and I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy about that and the lack of updates. But I am not a scammer -- just a guy like you trying to do the best he can. In fact, the reason that we're behind schedule is that I've had to take work that allows me to pay rent and keep all of the Kickstarter money in trust for Avi Krum.
As I said before, if you want a refund, just give me a PayPal account or mailing address, and I'll be happy to return your $25 pledge. But if you're angry about Kickstarter projects in general, I can't help you there. I can only tell you that posting nasty comments is not going to speed up our work.
Thanks,
Nick

@paul. there probably is no movie and we have been scammed. i tried to give the guy a chance. i guess he realized Kickstarter is the best place to pull off a scam without any recourse. KS is the accomplice.
Creator Paul M. Branson on March 16
Any news? Its been 3 months since I last contacted you and you're 5 months behind schedule. Are you still alive? Is there still a movie?
Creator Marco Landi on February 16
Enjoy my money Mr. Musurca !
Creator Rebecca J. T. on February 7
As Victor Hugo once said, "?".
Creator Francis Basco on January 31
This is getting ridiculous.
Creator Chris Ruble on January 30
"we're still alive, just way behind schedule because a project I took to pay the rent (editing a feature) is taking longer than expected. I'll update you guys with the new schedule as soon as that settles down. Thanks for your patience!"
Posted that to a comment on one of the updates. Its a shame he cant just post an update and let everyone know about the delays. These things happen, especially with Kickstarter, but most people are kind enough to update their backers when its going on 4 months past the estimated delivery date. Judging by his previous posts and promises of updates, I doubt we'll see the mentioned update "soon".
Creator Dexter Tyres on January 22
I guess we were conned.
Creator Paul M. Branson on December 17
So Mr. Musurca, where do we stand with Avi? Or have you put the money towards rent/Stage Fright and given me yet another reason not to ever back an arts project again?
Creator Anthony Campodonico on December 13
Sorry about the misspelling, no disrespect intended.
Creator Anthony Campodonico on December 13
Hey Nichols Muscura, time for an update. Promises are promises, aren't they? I had forgotten about backing you until the tickler popped-up today. Show a little respect and post a few lines about "The Films of Avi Krum".
Creator danny on December 4
sooo... about that movie that you asked people to back you on. people could care less about stage fright. this project was not for backing that. this was to back a movie that in september you said you would give an update on the finishing process. did you mean finishing your other project ? scrapped avi and moved on to stage fright ?
you really should wait until the movies get academy awards before you act so aloof and dont communicate.
Creator Nicholas Musurca on November 21
Hey everybody -- it's the Kickstaller here. Thanks for your continuing patience. I've talked to a few backers who have contacted me directly, but just wanted to put out a quick note for everybody. The movie is still on and going well, but obviously we're running behind due to the long hours I've been working on STAGE FRIGHT. I'll try to get better about getting out updates to you guys -- and of course, if you have other concerns, you can always contact me directly.
Creator danny on November 20
you posted about STAGE FRIGHT two months ago. no update since May. what gives ? is the film done ? you missed your delivery date and still no update ? did the whole movie end up on the cutting room floor ? Kickstaller strikes again !
Creator Charlie Gibson on November 15, 2012
Hey could we get an update on how things are going? I personally am fine with delays, I just want to know how it's going.
Creator Francis Basco on October 28, 2012
I understand that kickstarters take a while but it's almost the end of October. Could you post an update at least reassuring everyone that you're alive? :)
Creator Paul M. Branson on October 8, 2012
Hey Nicholas, any update on that update?
Creator Nicholas Musurca on September 23, 2012
Hi Danny -- while we do VFX in Los Angeles and schedule our last cameo interviews, I'm up in Northern Ontario working on a feature called STAGE FRIGHT (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2190838/). The internet connection up here is really lousy, but as soon as I get back I'll be putting together an update talking about the finishing process in more detail.
Creator danny on September 21, 2012
no update since august ?
Creator Nicholas Musurca on August 8, 2012
We're working hard on getting it done -- hope to have an update for you guys soon!
Creator Mads Storm Andersen on August 8, 2012
Any news?
Creator Adam Rausch on June 15, 2012
Congrats on the funded status. Continue to follow your own path. Can't wait to see your finished product, the trailer really piqued my interest.
Creator william duffy on June 9, 2012
Congratulations Nicholas! You far exceeded your goal. May that always be true in your career.
Best of luck.

Creator Marco Landi on June 8, 2012
Well done Nicholas ! I'm so glad you did it !
Creator Dannah Nayblat on May 14, 2012
Hilarious! wish I could give more...
Creator Dexter Tyres on May 14, 2012
Great, thanks for the reply, and be sure to make an AWESOME movie!
Creator Nicholas Musurca on May 14, 2012
Hey, Dexter -- thanks so much for your support! To answer your question: yes, the DVD will be region-free. It'll work anywhere -- even North Korea, if you can find a DVD player there.
Creator Dexter Tyres on May 14, 2012
Just pledged to get the DVD, one question - Is the DVD multi regional? I don't live in the US, or North Korea for that matter....
Creator Jayxeno on May 14, 2012
Absolutely hilarious. I'll be spreading the word around with all my friends stationed here in South Korea!
Creator Nathan Woods on May 8, 2012
The trailer is great. A great concept and it seems like you're pulling it off really well.
Creator Yngve Langmyhr on May 6, 2012
This film looks amazing! Genious! Genious!
