      I understand the delay on the DVD of the film itself, but I am wondering about where the set reports, footage, photos, and the signed script are?

      We've been sending updates; apologies if you haven't received them. First and foremost, we had to finish the movie. That's where the money went, for which we are grateful. However, we have been in the process of getting the funds to cover the costs of your gifts, which we are finishing up now. Gifts are due to go out this month...as for copies (DVDs) of the film, we stated before on several occasions that copies of the film WILL NOT BE RELEASED until it is fully complete, i.e. sold and distributed. So, people will be getting gifts in stages. Thank you for your support, and we would appreciate your patience while we orchestrate the final stages of our project.

      No updates for over a month. Just curious if we will ever receive our gifts. As I said earlier my one other donation went to a movie that within 7 days of completed funding our gifts were at our homes. Care to comment if you read this anymore?

      I just got my gift from another project just 5 days after it funded. Are we going to get our gifts soon? Hope your film festivals go well.

      So I am totally stoked about my Doug Jones autograph :) Just to make sure, this is a limited pledge reward not a cumulative like some, meaning I will not be receiving the dvd copy, is that right?

FallBack Plan Productions was formed in the fall of 2009 by Morgan Peter Brown and Justin Gordon, graduates of the Professional Theatre Training Program at the University of Illinois. Their goal is simple and direct: to create thought-provoking and engaging films which champion up-and-coming writers, directors, and actors. By creating opportunity for the many talented friends and colleagues they have met and worked with over the past several years, Brown and Gordon hope that FallBack Plan will set a new benchmark for independent cinema.
