Edmund is just like me :D (except he makes fucking awesome games and I cant even code).

[ishinken]

Edmund is my new idol, wish i had a grandma like his

[TheMastaGlazy]

I want to watch this movie so freaking badly, the chance it will be screened here in the netherlands will probably be 0,00000001% :( i hope it will be avaibable for buying soon :)

According to the kickstarter website which funded most of the movie you guys managed to raise $71,335 pledged of the $35,000 goal to make the movie.

So how come, you are now charging people to view your film when it was completely funded by the same people that were interested in it in the first place?

@Shijo872nd See, when you don't live FreeMoneyLand, entrepreneurs, in this case filmmakers, needed funding to create projects. That entails, travel, equipment, hiring crews and talent, post groups, distribution, promotions. The kickstarter is exactly that... it KICKSTARTS (see how that works?!) the project... it isn't PROFIT for the filmmakers time and effort. These people are trying to make a living from filmmaking, they've created something people want to see. More power to them.

[bragodahh]

Why are you charging for the digital download of this movie after the whole thing was funded by Kickstarter? Is there no limit to your greed?!

[cowgba]

@bragodahh Because they've put a lot of work into it and deserve to make a profit off of their hours of labor? Besides, if I'm not mistaken anyone who donates a certain amount on Kickstarter gets a copy for free when it's done.

What a nice dude

[jvemPiRe14]

this definitely does explain most of edmunds games

[revanxp]

I really like Edmund.

[pressove]

I have watched this so many times now. Let me see the movie already!

[Leon14000]

[ffjboi]

wwwow, his grandma looks so much like his niece.

[axelowns1337]

All of my thumbs up.

I think, (in my own honest opinion ofcourse) Edmund Mcmillen is one of the best if not THE best person involved in the indie game development industry. First of all, his games are diverse and never the same thing over and over again. He tries to put his own feelings and beliefs into his games (like in the video above, Aether is a great example of that) which is quite special I think. Also I guess i'm a "creative person", and I can relate alot to Edmund in that aspect of feeling alone as a kid.

[CupOfPinkCoffee]

@Inkstainedskin same here :P :)

[Joeyg143]

The picture quality is so goood.

[tsnaruto]

That was a very touching video, best of luck in what the future and your hard work brings you.

That's not art, that's a cry for help. He doesn't need help now, bitch!

[ZeBlackCat]

@TheRealNosserMan Well honestly it's always a good idea to check someone out when as a child he draws groteque imagery. Don't get me wrong, I love the style and all his games and I don't think he needs help, but on a larger scale such drawings do usually indicate a cry for help.

[ApolausticHipster]

1:00 my house is in the background! :D

[bedavelli]

I don't know if Edmun McMillen will read this: but his upbringing almost completely mirrors my own: down to his family structure and how he was raised by his grandmother. My mind is quite blown.

[Btrtoast]

WHY DOESN'T THIS HAVE MORE VIEWS?!?

[gohansupersayan]

@Btrtoast Because all the people who play CoD and Gears and all those other fucking stupid shooters don't give a fuck about indie games

[DeliriumzzZ]

@gohansupersayan way to generalise :).. I play both indie games and bigger games. Please don't spew random nonsense

[Modthepirate]

lowkey this video is 420

[Ocolith]

Didn't you guys already upload this? Why'd you have to re-upload?

[IndieGameTheMovie]

@Ocolith Yeah, sorry for the 'New Video False Alarm' :/ We chopped off the longish beginning piece and removed some note referring to the Kickstarter campaign. Basically making it a little more relevant if this is the first time someone is watching it.

[Ocolith]

@IndieGameTheMovie Got it, thanks for the response.
