If I'm honest, this is fucking brilliant.

Lmao this is hilarious I'm sorry. At least they delivered the film ultimately.
This has exceeded the potato salad Kickstarter

Oh did they? I didn't realize that... well maybe I'm wrong then, I thought they were just random people.

Wow. This is a hilarious concept. Trailer seemed okay, I guess. Some funny bits, but didn't really make me go, "I have to see this!"

$78k for a movie ain't shit. Looks like money well spent.

Y'all gonna fund my Tales of NeoGAF real soon.
Just proves some people don't read OP,s or links put in them.
I approve
If you crowd fund something you should expect like a 90% percent chance of it being a scam, especially if it's a movie. (I backed Unsung Story and eeeeh shit is what it is)
If you must crowd fund, give em five bucks and relax.
Don't invest any kind of real money in such an easily manipulated system.

hey you should read more than the title of the OP
it wasn't a scam, it never was
also your statistics about 90% chance of crowdfunding being a scam isn't true when the majority of campaigns that are funded end up coming out and delivering. You only give a fuck about the three that didn't and use that as your "gotcha" to everyone else when talking about crowdfuning
I swear to fucking god, sometimes.
How the fuck do you guys graduate highschool.

DAT PRIVILEGE.
Lol I get it, I've seen the original pitch and I think it's all brilliant.
I also realize there are many great results of crowd funding. I also backed Wasteland 2
My point is people should be skeptical of crowd funding and not get too invested in it in case things go badly. Should be viewed as giving people money in hopes something happens.
Relax.

No lie, this looks like a pretty decent flick. I somehow doubt they pulled it off with only 78 grand, but still. It was a brilliant idea that took some serious backbone to actually go through with.

It does look pretty solid. The original pitch video mentioning they were going to create the film regardless makes me suspect they actually already had it funded through other means, but the crowdfunding was a necessary extra step just to make the whole (brilliant) joke work.

Looks to me like they actually did make a movie, one that could have cost around 78,000 to make
Well, yes. That's what they spend the money on, that's what the crowdfunding was about.
Some really confusing posts ITT.

I know right people got a movie out of it and it looks really fun
Looks great. People realise its a film right? Like they spent time on this and invested the money - its not like its just them in a room getting drunk and high for 90 minutes - so why fraud is even being brought up I have no idea.
I mean we even have people saying its 'bullshit' - that's the fucking point!

That... looks like it was made on a 78k budget. The balls on them, fantastic.

A family friend of ours was just diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. He has months, maybe a few years at most. He's in his mid 30s with an 8 yr old daughter. The only item on his "bucket list" is to take a Disney Cruise with his wife and daughter before he's incapable. How hard is it to setup a gofundme for something like this? Are they ever successful?
Ice cold.

That's hilarious. Bravo!
It's not just technically, they delivered. It's not so much a documentary as it is a moc. There is clearly a script, direction, and actors. It's amazing.

Sounds like something Abed would do if Community were still on and they hadn't already done an episode about making a movie about making a movie where the audience is the cast and the cast is the audience.
I could see Abed kick starting his meta film about not actually making a film.

So, was Indiegogo in on this or what? How did they keep the backers at bay who were possibly demanding refunds when FND made the false statement about the movie not being made? Well, I guess you can't squeeze blood from a (fictional) turnip, but still.

Ok, this is genius.
Even if they were how in the hell did they handle the refunds? I mean can you get refunds?
Whatever the case It's an amazing idea.
