Thanks for sharing. Do you know when "Life of Bitcoin" will be released. It should have released in November 2014 :/

unfortunately no, according to beccy and austin's twitter (https://twitter.com/lifeonbitcoin) they posted a facebook update in march.
(no fb account here, so i didn't care about it as it's the poorest way to release updates imo)
since they mentioned to work with a publisher it got really silent around their project.
compared to similar projects it's really a joke how long they are taking to release, esp. regarding the 70,000$ funding via kickstarter 2013.
In August 2014, they said it's nearly finished and they are applying for several festivals and thinking about distribution models. (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitcoinlife/life-on-bitcoin-a-documentary-film/posts/961563)
From my experience this can take up to one year, but in fast evolving bitcoin space they'd be better off keeping marketing phase as short as possible because the shown content will already be obsolete on release. (as seen before with 'rise and rise of bitcoin')

it's a shame that the movie will probably just turn into another melancholic flick for bitcoiners about the early stages instead of reaching mainstream audience.
i saw so much potential there but i doubt they will show footage about the recent progress.

thanks to knight22 for the update and Troublesome96 for the cudos

I can't really imagine that there will be much interest from the mainstream on this. It's not sexy enough for them like something like DeepWeb will be (even though that's not exactly going to get a cinema release either and premieres on TV sometime this month I believe). As a bitcoin fan I don't think I'll be that excited for Life on Bitcoin either but I will watch it when its freely available. I think it'll just be a film about them wandering round looking dejected everytime they get rejected then a bit of excitement when they find some coffeeshop or a local to accept bitcoin in exchange for something.
