Your grandkids must be mighty talented making films that can reach BAFTA (British Academy Film Awards) nomination level. I wish I was that talented!

In all seriousness though we've poured a lot of time and effort into this conversion and will have to rethink how else we can approach conversions without taking such massive risks if we struggle to get the 3D community support.

It appears that spending 6 months doing a conversion, then trying to sell it may be the wrong approach. One alternative is running the Kickstarter to raise funds and check the market is sufficiently strong, then only delivering the film 9-12 months down the line. I'm not sure how everyone will feel about that. Very tough market.

A lot will depend on the individual film. This one was always going to be a very hard sell. House on Haunted Hill was always going to be an easy sell and has gone down a storm. It's been voted the third best 3D Blu-ray of last year, beating out native 3D titles. Last Man on Earth is also going to get funded very quickly, there's little risk with Vincent Price titles and even less with ones that have no official UK Blu-ray release.

One thing to consider is that it seems like 3-D movies have slipped back to the independent guys more. In other words, we're moving back into the same sort of period as the 60s and 70s (hopefully without so much porn) and the 90s and early 2000s where the smaller guys are keeping the 3D lights on waiting for the next boom. So it kinda behooves 3D fans to support whatever they can.

These guys, Phil West, Variety Films and (of course) the 3DFA are what's keeping 3D alive much more than Hollywood right now.
