      It's now the end of July and we still have yet to receive our rewards your promised months ago. What's the hold up?

      Hope things are going well. Obviously as a backer I'd like a copy of the film, but an update with some info on how the film has been received so far would be great.

      Thanks.

      --sigh--

      It's been a long time. The movie has played festivals. A promise of an October release of rewards was made. And then...nothing.

      I know how life can get in the way...but how about...SOMETHING? An update? A link? ANYTHING?

      Creator Andrea R on January 6, 2012

      Hey, hope you're still hitting the festivals. How about an update for the new year?

      Creator Christoph on December 6, 2011

      Now it is December and still nothing. A delay is ok, but at least communicate it.

      Creator Heather Seebach on November 13, 2011

      The last email said they felt "confident" the rewards would be sent out by the end of October. It's now November 13th. What's going on, guys?

      Creator Mikko Meriläinen on October 1, 2011

      Apparently we haven't, re: latest update :)

      Creator Daniel Roussel on September 16, 2011

      We are now September and there has been no updates, email, or anything since they got funded. I wrote the Meza Brothers to know what was going on and got no answer back. Have we been ripped off?

      any news from this project ?

      Congratulations on getting this funded! Can't wait to see it on the big screen.

      Creator John Hoff III on April 14, 2011

      I whole heartedly support this film. You took the zombie genre to a new place. IMHO I don't believe there has been a zombie movie that looks at it from an animals perspective.

      Creator eyliena on April 11, 2011

      I'd totally back it if I thought there was a chance of me seeing it. I think it's a long shot to imagine it getting to Australia

    At this level, welcome to our producer's circle. You have bestowed a glorious amount of money onto us that we will turn around and use to set fire to an automobile, or blow a shotgun-sized hole through a zombie. For this, we would like to honor you with a bonafide Executive Producer's credit. This film will tour major festivals and your name will be attached to it in all its glory. You will be listed as an Executive Producer on the PLAY DEAD IMDB page. Yes, it's a large credit, but what do Executive Producer's do really? They fund films. And with a $1,000 donation to our project, you instantly become a major contributor to PLAY DEAD. Come have lunch with directors Andres and Diego Meza-Valdes and producers Jonathan David Kane and Cory Czajkowski. Also, the tickets to the festival, AND the MP3's of the songs from the film, AND the dog tags, AND the signed poster. (Hello, I <3 You)
