I would gladly help fund this if money is at all an issue - based on that trailer I think a lot of people would do the same.

I do hope Jason's able to find the crew that was working on this. Jason does great work and I'd love to see their powers combined.

This looks totally up my alley. I would have gladly paid for this had it been available. Heck I just dropped some cash on the soundtrack album (and I seldom pay for music) and its wonderful. Hopefully this hitting HN and the resulting websites will get enough attention to finish this off.

The last bit of news anyone has been able to find is related to a screening in June 2012: https://www.facebook.com/events/407114895977032/

I hope this gets released. I worked for Eugene Jarvis (indirectly) and certainly knew and appreciated a lot of the others in these snippets.

These were titans that saw an entire industry as it could be as opposed to the "entrepreneurs" we see now that stand on the shoulders of giants and still manage to only reach their navels.

As mentioned in the article, the music is well worth checking out for this documentary (http://zoeblade.bandcamp.com/album/8-bit-generation). Lets hope a completed film gets released.

Just checking out the trailers, it actually pains me to think that this series might never see the light of release. Wow.

Sounds fantastic - having this in a film/documentary with the right cutting work would be totally awesome <3
