| Whatever hapened to the Viva Amiga documentary film, which raised nearly $30,000 on Kickstart over 1 year ago?
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vivaamiga/viva-amiga-the-documentary-film
A quick glance at their Kickstarter page & their web site doesn't show any obvious recent news.
Are they posting status updates anywhere? Did they have a timetable & are they sticking to it? Or were they over-optimistic about costs, and fail to produce what they planned? Have they just take the money and run?
$30,000 is a lot of money (although it pales in comparison to the $350,000 being asked for by Cinemaware for a Wings remake). Last edited by ChrisH on 20-Aug-2012 at 04:49 PM.

Initially the film was hoped to be released this year but it has now been scheduled for release early in 2013...
You can keep up to date with how things are progressing on the VIVA AMIGA Facebook page if you didn't donate/ pre order to the fund. Zach also sends out email updates to people whom donated to the project and right now the movie is in the cutting room/ early production stages...

| It be great if we could arrange a Amiga show in uk for a special screening of this film once it's complete.
Actually just did a quick check and it can be as cheap as £200 to get a odeon cinema screen hired, I think that would be awesome. Last edited by amigang on 20-Aug-2012 at 10:31 PM.

Just what I was thinking. If he can't make it to the show, maybe someone can contact him and obtain a 10 to 15 minute movie trailer of it to show during the AmiWest Show?
What do you think SACC guys? Doesn't that sound like a great idea for the show? _________________

Well, that would be quite a drive, because he'd have to go 3,000 miles.
