Nail House

 We’re in the home stretch! Thanks, everyone - we’ve officially raised $376K and are closing in on 4,000 backers! There are just 9 days left in the campaign, and we want to finish strong. 

🎬 Creative Control

The reason we decided to crowdfund Nail House was simple: creative control.
This campaign lets us make the movie exactly the way we want to make it.

If you haven't backed yet but plan to purchase the movie once it's released, you can support us now by selecting the digital or physical movie-only tier. Every pledge helps us right now and gives you a chance to win one of our daily prop drops!



Remember - today we’re announcing two winners from our Condiment Tray Giveaway!

Congrats to Cowin Francis and Joseph Ra!
The trays will be added to your pledges (but you’ll have to supply your own delicious sauces).


Back by popular demand - this is the second placemat we’re giving away from Mama Wong’s Dumpling House. Another restaurant mainstay!



To win today’s prop:
👉 If you could add a new animal to the Chinese Zodiac, what would it be - and why does it represent you?

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!

 We’ve officially surpassed $350K - thanks to all 3,600+ of you incredible backers for continuing to push this campaign higher every day!

🎬 Backer Exclusive Screenings & Panels

Let’s talk about one of the most exciting perks of this campaign: the Backer Exclusive Screenings and Panels!

We’ll be hosting two events - one digital and one physical - to screen Nail House exclusively for backers of this campaign. You’ll be among the very first people in the world to see the finished film, followed by a live Q&A and meet & greet with the cast and crew.

 The physical screening will take place in Los Angeles - exact location TBD - while our digital event will make sure fans worldwide can join in the celebration.


Congrats to Kyle Massak, winner of the Bulldozer Miniature! The bulldozer will be added to your pledge!
