As you may or may not know, the TV show Veronica Mars was revived this year as a theatrial movie with the help of a Kickstarter campaign

All Kickstarter backers got a digital download of the movie on March 14th.

Since we can't create a contributable profile for a digital download, one needs to create a manual profile.

Here's the cast & crew for the movie which you can paste into your manual profile or later use as basis for your full audit against a future DVD or Blu-ray.

I've typed both lists myself and directly from the end credits. I vouch for the cats list - all uncrediteds were entered by me after visual confirmation.

I am no expert on crew by any means, so I did my best and tried to compile the list with the help of the crew section rules, but you're going to have to check that list for yourself again if you wish to contribute it.

Just copy these XMLs and paste them into your open cast/crew editor in DVDP

I am so jealous! I loved this series.... and want to see the film so bad!

If you don't want to wait for the DVD, it's in theaters now and also available on iTunes now.

Thanks DJ Doena, very much appreciated! 

For those that haven't seen it yet, you can rent it from place like iTunes if you don't want to own a non-physical copy before that is released in a couple of months.

Went and saw it opening night in the theaters, it was awesome. Being in the (sold-out) theater with other fans of the show, who clapped when certain characters made their appearance on screen, laughed at all the right "in-jokes" and cheered when the film ended was really a once in a lifetime experience.

Funding is irrelevant for the CoO. CoO is the country/countries where the primary production companies are based.

In this case "Acme Films" asked some guys from the internet to donate some money.
And that's the difference. "XL Filmproduktions" would get a cut from the revenues, but the Kickstarter users won't. All they got was a small gesture of appreciation (=DVD/Blu ray etc.) and all extra money made by this movie goes to "Acme".

So I'd say no CoO for Croudfunders...

"Funding is irrelevant for the CoO"



Funding is one of the essential criteria for determing country of origin (film festivals, academies...)

Scenario - US based writer-director forms "Acme Films" in order to get his film made. "Acme Films" is involved in pre-production, hiring cast, crew, script, etc.
Only problem is that "Acme" lacks money. They get German company "XL Filmproduktions" to finance the film, which now becomes an official US-German co-production.
"XL"s only involvement with the film is funding/money (no artistic/development role), yet, depending upon the deal struck, XL may end up with the rights to the negative and claim copyright on the film.


Nationalities of individuals funding are irrelevant,..

For contribution purposes we must go with the rules. And the rules says...

Rules Quote:

Quote:
Country of Origin (COO)
Enter the country or countries in which the main feature's production company/companies are based, in the order they appear in the credits.

So where the companies are based is what we are looking for.

Exactly.
My post was in reply  to the blanket statement (or so it seemed to me) "Funding is irrelevant for the CoO".

I wasn't referring to Veronica Mars, but to ffilm financing in general...

Fargo (1996), a film produced in the US by the Coen Brothers is a good example of this.
Don't know (or care) how it is shown in the Invelos database, but the fact is that in most sources/databases (British Film Institute, American Film Institute, etc) it is listed as a US-UK co-production. The reason for this is because even though it was made in the US, it was financed at least in part by a British company, Polygram, who, tellingly, own the copyright of the film.
