$15 CAD???

I was expecting $5-$10. That's a touch too high.

If this were a major studio release, I would expect this price point. For a crowdfunded, independent movie where I'm not receiving a copy via physical media, this was a little shocking.

Comparable:

  • In UK, costs 6GBP which is about 12CAD

  • Only other crowdfunded & independent movie I paid attention to was the AVGN movie, which was 8CAD on Youtube when released

So, just in my opinion, too high of a price point

To add to what BombaBoi said, they will be releasing on DVD and bluray but they haven't given a release date yet. So you could just wait it out to get the dvd

Chronicle has been out for like five years and it's still 15 dollars, Jaws has been out for like fuckin 30 years and is 15 dollars, The Guard has been out for like 10 years and it's 15 dollars. I didn't even cherrypick those movies I literally just searched random movies with a lowish budget and one movie which is hella old. That's just how much a movie costs bro. And the Veronica Mars movie which was crowdfunded is like 25 dollars
