Latest Updates from Our Project:

Full Survey Rollout has begun!
6 months ago – Wed, Jan 28, 2026 at 12:06:57 PM

Hello again! Happy to report the smoke test went well, and thanks to our test group's swift responses, we're able to send the rest out. Keep an eye on your email for your survey! These are where we'll get important details about your order, you'll make the hard choices like Hat or T-shirt (or both), and we'll procure your shipping info.

Important reminder that shipping & taxes will be charged closer to fulfillment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I add more names to the credits?
Opting in for a tier that allows for "your name in the credits" grants only ONE entry. This can be your real name, nickname, or anything you choose, as long as it's non-offensive, vulgar-free, and within 15 Characters. We will ask for your entry once the surveys are sent. If you wish to add more, you will need to purchase an additional pledge tier that includes this option. To do so, please email [email protected] so we can manually add an additional pledge. Please note this means you will get more than one survey and both will need filled out and paid for.

When will I get my rewards?
We are hard at work making this film worth all the love and support its been given! That being said, this is not a quick process! Once we finish filming, we will begin production of the physical rewards and send updates as it gets closer to fulfillment. Rough timeline for this is Spring/Summer of 2027.

Will DVDs be region specific?
Our 4K DVD options will not be locked or region-specific.

Thanks, Everyone!

A Little More Behind The Scenes!
6 months ago – Fri, Jan 23, 2026 at 09:09:29 AM

We wanted to share a quick production update.

Another day, another Wong brother fighting Don Chang.
Last week, Brandon completed his first glass-break gag. We had three panes of breakaway glass, and Kenny sent Brandon’s head through all three.

For anyone curious: breakaway glass is made from sugar and designed to shatter more easily. It’s what you see when bottles break over heads or actors go through windows. That said, it still behaves like glass once it breaks, so it requires real care on set before and after the stunt.

Carter (art department), Ryan (stunts), and Mark (stunts) worked together to install each pane, then dressed them with water and dirt.  Rehearsals were careful, too - one wrong bump into the wall and the whole thing could’ve gone early.

Thankfully, everything went exactly as planned! Check it out below!

What’s Next: Surveys, Pre-Orders, and Movie Progress
6 months ago – Fri, Jan 16, 2026 at 09:29:09 AM

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!

What Happens Now?
8 months ago – Tue, Dec 09, 2025 at 04:45:55 PM

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 your payment went through without any issues, you’re all set for now.
  • If your card failed, BackerKit will automatically keep retrying for 14 days while you update your info.

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:
  • Confirm your shipping address
  • Make your choices (disc format, shirt size, etc.)
  • Lock in any add-ons you want
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:
  • The team will be shooting over the next year and then moving into post-production after that.
  • Some rewards (like the film itself, credits, commentary, etc.) are tied directly to that timeline.
We’ll be sending regular updates as big milestones happen:
  • When surveys go out
  • When production is underway
  • When we have cool behind-the-scenes stuff to share
  • When physical rewards start moving toward manufacturing and fulfillment (Est. early 2027)

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

From Us to You: Holy Heck, Thank You
8 months ago – Mon, Nov 24, 2025 at 02:01:03 PM

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
