KICKSTARTER

Creator Danny Shutler on March 29

I pledged $250 for the studio tour and originally scheduled my tour for early/mid-May last year, but then production got pushed back and I had to take a job in Chicago come June. I've been back in LA for three months now and have sent a couple of emails to the Anomalisa gmail, but have yet to get a response. Am I shit out of luck? Or can I get some other kind of reward? Or can I get my pledge refunded? No hard feelings, but I want to know what my options are, if any...

Creator Jack Moulton on March 9

Thank you for the update guys!

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on March 9

That make four of us ... on 5770!

Creator Erik van Dijk on March 9

I am also waiting for an update..

Creator Arnold Pistorius on March 9

Lol i was just wondering about this?? is this still happening? what I am noticing the more "professional" the backing, the worse the delivery date, completely underestimated time and budget. probably working on another job as thats what these companies are like, so far you falling under my 2nd worst backing. Never again....

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on March 8

Clearly, Charlie and team had, at a minimum, forgot about their backers who put $400 000 in his project, and at the worst flew with our money. But we are 2 people on 5 770 worrying about it!

Creator Manuel Haj-Saleh Ramirez on February 28

I agree with Marie at this. An update is due, even if there are no substantial changes. And I understand all those difficulties, changes, and stones on the road that have delayed the project. I even understand an understimation of the time needed (though it's been longer than a year since the funding process ended). But the longer the delay is, the scarcer the updates are. And that does not transmit confidence.
So my request would be, as kind as possible: update us, the funders, more often. Even if it is just a couple of lines of the production log. It would mean respect to those who put money and hopes on it. Thanks.

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on February 24

@Brendan I don't care that much about delays and don't only focus on the end results, but also on the process of writing, pre-producing, producing, editing, etc. the film. That is what KS should be!

Creator Brendan Hong on February 22

@ Marie and Y.

Don't worry, you're not the only ones waiting for an update. I've got faith that they'll finish the movie, but I'm guessing that like a lot of other earlier on Kickstarter campaigns, they severely under-estimated on the time needed. Hopefully there will be an update and better yet, a date of when the movie will be finished.

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on February 22

One day, we will maybe have an update. But since we are only 2 backers on 5 770 asking for it ...

Creator Y. Chung on February 14

From your last update which was on Dec 22:

"expect an update once or twice a month"

Today is February 14. :)

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on February 14

So doing my monthly round of videogames and movies projects (the most delinquant on the communication front of all my projects, because, "oh well their creators are free spirits that don't have to be accountable to anyone except themselves").

No update in more than 1 month (nearly 2). Update please! At least, put a link that looks like an update in a blog, forum or FB entry.

Creator Jack Moulton on February 7

Are you guys in post-production yet? :)

Creator SVP on January 17

check this out.

Anybody watch this?
my life has been pretty craptastic but I still enjoyed this homemade movie.
Its like underground ghost-in-the-machine meets cute aliens claymationish w/ pangs of Nightmare-before-xmas.

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on December 24

Nice, and please continue to update us on the results, AND the process, even if you think it's not that interesting. You'r producing a film! That is interesting by itself!

Creator Shannon Hilchie on December 21

Any news?

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on December 21

Now 2 months without update! Is this thing still getting done? :-(

Creator Tracey Pritchard on December 15

Just popping by to post some positivity & love xx
Proud to have supported this project, keep on truckin!!

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on December 13

+++ on what Brendan, Tara, and Marie-Andrée (;-) had said before. Pathetic communications!!

Creator Brendan Hong on November 18

@ Tara Imbery

I can I say is that I agree totally with your point. Monthly update would be greatly appreciated for this campaign, especially for something running late. I know that they're working hard, but hearing regular updates would be great to all the backers left waiting. There's almost 6000 of us.
I find asking Kickstarter to help is pretty pointless.. They tend to go "oh, well keep trying to contact the creator and we'll do the same."

Creator Tara Imbery on November 18

@ Brendan Hong - I know all about communication issues with KS campaigns - I'm in over 70 campaigns at this point. This one is one of my earlier campaigns and the only one that has been this delinquent with communicating its progress - or this vague when they do decide to give us an "update". Even a monthly update that just lets us know where things are at overall with the project would be leaps and bounds better than nothing.

Creator Brendan Hong on November 16

@ Tare Imbery

I find that issue, regular update and communication, to be a big issue with a lot of KS campaigns, this one included. It's a fine line to walk between way too much and way too little, but in this case, with a project being late, it'd be nice to have some kind of regular monthly update. Even the tumblr, http://anomalisamovie.tumblr.com/ , that was suppose to be updated regularly has not be updated in 4 months.

Creator Tara Imbery on November 16

@ Marie-Andree Poisson - I totally agree that this KS has been terrible about communicating where it's at with its progress. All we are getting is the "delightfully busy" updates, but nothing that actually tells us where the project is at in its creation process. Is the filming almost done? When is apparel being shipped out (they mentioned it was "very soon" back in August, but there hasn't been an update on that since)? Is there any sort of estimate about when backers will start seeing the fruits of their labour? I'm glad now that I didn't contribute for more than just the digital download, because the lack of communication would be really driving me batty otherwise.

Starburns Industries - Could you please give us something more concrete than just "being busy"? Even an update a month would be better than radio silence. Don't be that guy.

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on October 17, 2013

Ok, I give up! This project is yet another Kickstarter delinquant on the communication front.

Creator Y. Chung on October 16, 2013

This project needs an update!

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on October 5, 2013

I'm not talking about delivery in here, but about communicating your work! We (or at least I) want to know what is going on! :-) Will read your update with lot of interest.

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on October 4, 2013

I supposed not! :-(

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on September 27, 2013

Update soon I hope?

Creator LFA2012 on September 3, 2013

Sept 3rd any updates on this?

Creator Chaz Ruybe on August 28, 2013

Looking forward to the finished product.

Creator Stephanie Beach on August 28, 2013

Quality not speed. Take your time and do the art you want to do.
:)

Creator Geikichi on August 26, 2013

Update please !

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on August 22, 2013

Well, I must be the only one on more than 5000 backers interested in knowing what's going on with this project. No real update in more than 1 1/2 months. Not cool at all.

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on August 1, 2013

Real update please. Don't be like video games projects please!

Creator Dan Glaza on July 10, 2013

Am I able to hand-off my studio tour to my friend in LA? I live in Seattle and can't make it down. If not, I understand. Thanks!

Creator PKN on June 15, 2013

You all are awesome! Take as long as ****ing needed to make this film! Don't rush it to appease impatient backers. Whenever & wherever this arrives in my mailbox, I look forward to settling in, smoking some ganja and letting the magic of stop-motion expand my consciousness. The wait will only make the eventual experience better!

Carry on ye gods of wire armatures & silicon.

Cheers & be well.

P.S. - I need to update my shipping address. How do I?

Creator Rene Romero on May 26, 2013

Has anybody received the signed Charlie Kaufman script yet? Still hoping and waiting.

Creator Marie-Andree Poisson on May 22, 2013

You have me reassured. :-)
