Nail House

Hey everyone!
We have a quick progress update to share as we move into the next phase of Nail House.

 🧪 Smoke Tests Are Going Out Today
A smoke test sends the survey to about 5% of backers in each pledge level. It's a final check to make sure everything works as expected before surveys go out to everyone.

If everything looks good (and we expect it will!) we'll roll surveys out to the rest of the backers shortly after.

If you don't get a survey today, that's totally normal - just means you're not in the test group!

🛒The Pre-Order Store is OPEN!
This is your opportunity to grab items from the campaign if you missed out on them the first time around, and YES - VGHS Seasons 1-3 Blu Rays are available here!

🎬What We've Been Up To
While all of this is happening on the BackerKit side, our team has been making the movie! Over the last few days, Freddie has tested wire rigging and thoroughly destroyed a kitchen!

More soon as surveys launch. Thanks again for being here!

Hey everyone,

First off: thank you again for an absolutely wild campaign. Now that the dust has settled a bit, we wanted to answer the big question on a lot of people’s minds: What happens now?

💳 Payments & Processing

BackerKit is still working through all the campaign payments in the background.

If you’re seeing payment issues or warning emails and want to double-check what’s going on, BackerKit has a great help page here:
 🔗 https://help.backerkit.com/category/616-payment

We’ll also remind folks about payment fixes again when we send surveys. 

📝 Surveys Coming in January

In early January, you’ll get a BackerKit survey emailed to you.

That survey is where you’ll:

If you backed the campaign, you haven’t missed anything - nothing ships, prints, or gets finalized for you until that survey is filled out.

📦 Shipping Will Be Charged Later

We are not charging shipping right now.

Instead, shipping will be collected closer to when rewards are ready to go out, so we’re working with more accurate, up-to-date rates (and not trying to guess what shipping looks like years in advance).

🎬 Movie Production Timeline & Updates

On the film side:

We’ll be sending regular updates as big milestones happen:

Thanks again for backing Nail House and letting us make something this ambitious. More soon!

First off - YOWZA, DAWG! 

Matt and I (as well as the whole team) never, in a million years, expected us to exceed the amount we raised for indie webseries darling Video Game High School Season 3, let alone crack a million dollars. As it stands, Nail House is the top crowdfunded action movie of all time, which is a tremendous honor! 

We are humbled and touched by the overwhelming enthusiasm and support for our project, and we now approach the work ahead of us with renewed vigor... after Thanksgiving, of course (non-Americans Thanksgiving is the day before everyone spends money on Christmas gifts). 

Our crowdfund partners at Vala and the team will have a full update for backers re: next steps after the holiday. There will be a survey where we get your address, sizes, blu-ray preferences, etc., so until then - thank you all for your support, and we look forward to taking your money, making a bunch of cool backer rewards with a portion of it, and spending the rest on this film! 

-Freddie and Matt

We’re in the final stretch right now on the livestream, deep in overtime mode, and we’ve got one last surprise for you.

A ton of you have asked… so we’re doing it.

VGHS Blu-ray Seasons 1, 2, and 3 are now available as an add-on!




Just head to the Add-Ons section and toss it into your pledge.

We’re here with you live as the campaign comes to a close - thanks for making this finale absolutely wild. Let’s finish strong.

What. A. Day.
We just blew past 7,000 backers and crossed $650K - and there are still more than 2,000 people riding the Backer Train. Absolutely unreal. Thank you all for this incredible final push. 💛
