And now 2 months since the last update. As a disclaimer, the Director is a good friend of mine from college and I fully believe in his vision and ability to do great things. When he put out the call that they were looking for funding from Kickstarter I absolutely wanted to back my friend's dream.
I was aware of the many wonderful and challenging things going on in his life, which goes into making deadlines difficult.
That being said, I am personally irked by the extremely poor lack of communication displayed. They did have a screening of the pre-released film in Detroit. I don't go to Detroit if I can help it, so that's on me. Recently I'd seen that the film won a Steampunk award for best short film. As a backer of this project, it's also irksome that even a pre-final cut of the film or even excerpts weren't made available for online streaming before making it's tour to the indie film circuit.

I still believe in Mike's Talent, Vision, and Ability. I fully expect him to be the next Sam Raimi. But if it weren't for my personal connection to Mike, I would probably be raising issue with Kickstarter about the lack of followthrough with his KS backers.
I sincerely hope when he reads this realizes that I'm not trying to burn bridges as I love the man, but wanted to provide a voice for those other friends of his on KS who feel the same but didn't want to make waves.
This was my first investment with Kickstarter. Fortunately I have invested in other amazing projects here that kept it from becoming my last experience.

Thanks for the update Scott. Its good to finally hear an update, Much appreciated.
Creator Scott Norman on March 4
Fellow Kickstarter backers and supporters of "The Wars of Other Men",
I'd like to chime in as lead actor of the film, and the newest member of the production team.
My deepest apologies for the lack of communication over the past year. Unforeseen complications, production team changes, and illness have put the project on a drastically slower track than it had initially started on.
THE PROJECT IS NOT DEAD.
Most complications have been resolved, a new plan has been put into play, and final touches are currently being put on the film.
We truly appreciate your patience, and deeply regret our failure to keep you posted on our progress and problems. Please look for an official Kickstarter update in the Updates section in the next week.

Hellllloooooooo?
Creator Phillip Solomonson on February 22
Wow, now that I've read the comments below, I realize that I am not the only pledge that has been ignored. I've sent a complaint to kickstarter.com so if nothing else, they are aware that they have lost an ongoing donor due to this nonsense. So much for this new model of crowd sourcing.
Creator Phillip Solomonson on February 22
I'm still waiting for the premiums promised from the last kickstarter. Please contact me with details on when to expect goodies.

I'm very disappointed in this venture. I've not heard word one from you on delivery of the product that we were to receive for our various pledge levels. As Bernie said previously, you are almost a year behind and haven't offered up any explanations. While I certainly didn't pledge hundreds of dollars, I still pledged on good faith that you would hold up your end of the bargain. Your lack of communication and follow through is very unprofessional. Please respond with an ETA or a very good excuse as to why you have been so negligent in keeping us all up-to-date.
Creator Bernie Bresnahan on January 25
In October 2012 we were told there would be monthly updates. Hasn't happened. Is delivery of swag expected to be at the same time of the DVD release now? The original expectation of swag delivery was originally set (by your pledge statements) in ~Feb 2012, almost a full year ago now.
Creator Venessa Vendemio on January 3
Any updates/ETA on Backers packages going out? I still haven't received it yet.
Creator Susan Lyon on September 29, 2012
Any updates on this project? It's been a really long time.
Creator Michael Edwards on June 10, 2012
How's the DVD coming along? I really want to watch the film!
Creator Jacob Collins on May 29, 2012
Any new updates? It's been awhile since we've heard anything.
Creator thewarsofothermen on January 13, 2012
Hi Michael - we'll have a cut that is festival ready in plenty of time for April, so we'd be more than happy to submit a copy for the consideration of MiniCon! You can contact us at thewarsofothermen@gmail.com to work out the particulars. Thanks for your support of the film!
Creator Michael Kingsley on January 13, 2012
Please consider MiniCon in Minneapolis, Minnesota for your film festival submissions. I'm currently selecting films for the 2012 Minicon to be held Easter weekend, April 6-8, 2012. It appears that the DVD may not be ready until June 2012, so a MiniCon showing may have to wait until Easter weekend of 2013.

Don't know you or your film at all... but respect what your dedication with the Mitten Movie Project (even tho I never seem to get there for a screening!) Keep up the good work!
Creator Scott Norman on December 25, 2011
GOAL ATTAINED! Merry Christmas indeed!
Creator Venessa Vendemio on December 22, 2011
Merry Christmas Scott Norman :-) Can't wait to see this movie on an Indie screen here in NYC or on Syfy or the Indi channels.
