Great Kingdom - It's Alive

Great Kingdom Speaks

Yesterday, Kickstarter announced that the site for The Great Kingdom Kickstarter had been restored. Read more in yesterday’s blog post.

Today, there is an update, the first in over four years. The prior update was July 23, 2014.

Here is the update:

Nov 13 2018

…and we are back.

hi everybody. 

we are back and we are excited to move forward with THE GREAT KINGDOM. we obviously have had some setbacks, the most important of which is losing CHRIS HAIFLEY as our director. he has moved on to other projects. however, we have put together a great team to get us to the finish line.

it’s also safe to say that it will NOT be the film that we had first envisioned. this has more to do with the evolution of any documentary film. stories evolve and take on a life of their own or the original intent pivots for something even more interesting. our team believes we have something special that is uniquely focused on the history of DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS and we are lucky enough to have talented storytellers to tell you the story.

we will be making more announcements in the coming months when we will be introducing everyone to the team. for now though, THE GREAT KINGDOM (title may also be changed) is moving forward.

ps. some folks have already written to us, congratulating us and also asking for a link or copy to the completed film. to those folks, we still do need to finish and release the film for their copy to be (e)mailed to them. thanks for being patient.

My Thoughts

Since I expected to never see that money again, I’ll let it ride and take advantage of their film.

I expected some sort of update from the competing Kickstarter, but I didn’t back it, so I don’t know if they are in communication with their backers.

In the meantime, there are less than three days left to back The Dreams In Gary’s Basement. Be sure to jump in on this. $100,000 is only $25,000 away and will allow all the technical things that will help make the film possible to get on Netflix.
