Latest Updates from Our Project:

#1 Funded Film on BackerKit (and a Double Prop Giveaway!)
4 months ago – Tue, Nov 11, 2025 at 03:06:43 PM

We did it!! 🎉
Thanks, everyone - today we hit $364K, making Nail House the #1 funded film project on BackerKit of all time.
That’s absolutely wild. We’re so grateful to every single one of you for helping us make this possible.

🎬 The Big News: Page-Turn Day
Yesterday was our Page-Turn - a full script review with every department head, from production to props.
10 AM to 5 PM. A LONG meeting.

If you’ve never heard of a page-turn, the name more or less gives it away. Everyone sits down and goes through the script one page at a time, asking every possible question related to their department. We do our best to answer them all, and by the end, we have way more questions than we started out with. That’s filmmaking, baby.



Congrats to Cindy, who scored the second Steamer Basket! It’ll be added to your pledge!

🍶 Today’s Prop Drop: DOUBLE GIVEAWAY - The Condiment Trays!

Today we’ve got two prop trays up for grabs! These condiment trays are straight from Mama Wong’s tables - perfect for soy sauce, chili oil, or… whatever else your heart desires.
Just the trays, though - you’ll have to supply your own delicious condiments.

For your chance to win one of the condiment trays: Tell us what you’d put in the condiment tray.
It doesn’t have to be condiments. Get creative. We’ll pick two winners in tomorrow’s update!

🚨 HOORAY - WE SURPASSED $300K!!! 🚨
4 months ago – Fri, Nov 07, 2025 at 04:25:05 PM

You all are absolutely crushing it. Thank you for helping us cross the $300K milestone - every dollar gets us closer to making Nail House exactly the way we’ve envisioned it. 

Now, let’s talk about menus.
If you’ve ever wondered what goes into making a movie feel authentic, this is a great example. Freddie dropped a new video all about how we designed Mama Wong’s Dumpling House takeout menu to look like the real thing, down to the paper stock, fonts, and graphic design.




☎️ Yesterday’s Winner
Congrats to Erasmus Magnus, who scored the Mama Wong’s Restaurant Phone! It’ll be added to your pledge - handle with care!

🚜 Today’s Prop Drop: The Bulldozer (Miniature)

This miniature bulldozer will soon be painted to look ready to demolish our beloved Mama Wong’s. Matt is positive it will look cooler than it does now when he's through with it.

Hey everyone,
We just crossed $275K today! The support you’ve shown continues to blow us away.

🍜 Campaign Swag: Mama Wong’s T-Shirt & Hat
When Creator Clash 3 imploded and Freddie lost his chance to promote Nail House on the back of his robe after beating up (or getting beat up by) an animation YouTuber, many of you offered to carry the Mama Wong’s Dumpling House name in his honor. Now’s your chance.



Introducing the Mama Wong’s T-Shirt and Hat - campaign-exclusive merch designed just for backers. You can grab them in the Chef’s Special tier and above, or as add-ons if you’re pledging at any level.


Yesterday’s winner is Samuel Borgen, who’s taking home Mama Wong’s Shrine - one of the most memorable props from the film. Congrats! It’ll be added to your pledge.


This isn’t just any hat - it’s Danny’s Hat. And soon, it can be YOUR HAT.  To enter today’s giveaway, leave a comment below and tell us: The hat has been cursed. What’s the curse?
