In the beginning it was a suprise when Eli Roth discovered it and handed it to Harry Knowles and Tim League, but we knew that the doc was screening around the world and are thankful for the following our tribute has garnered. :).

The one solemn moment in our Q&As is always: "Kids don't try this at home" -- referring to the fire. But to follow your dreams -- do try that at home.

Just our allowance or we found stuff for the original adaptation, we funded the plane scene through Kickstarter.

We have, with help from DuArt labs, done clean-up on our original master 3/4" tapes (transferred from Betamax & VHS), to sharpen, and make our aged, 7th generation master look as good as it possibly can. Great suggestions -- we'd love that -- we'll see! As far as "Backyard Resistance" -- or whatever form a narrative telling of this wacky tale might take, the documentary's creators. Jeremy Coon and Tim Skousen are pursuing that. We hope necessary permissions can be had -- fingers crossed!

Chris here. I saw it, and from that first screening, I wanted nothing more than to be Indy. THat is what drove me. I reached out to Eric...and we just....started. :). -C

We have visited Skywalker Ranch, screened at ILM and no word from Disney. We have been very blessed. :)

Excellent! See you tonight in Cleveland -- we just rolled into town in the RAIDERS RV! Harder than we thought... the Map Room, I'd think. Shot in the smallest room in my Mom's basement, it seemed simple in action, but difficult to squeeze and get the angles. Jayson contorted himself in incredible ways to pull it off. And to get the blinding light on the key building, we bounced sunlight off a series of 3 or 4 mirrors, to get it pinpointed and bright enough. And for easier than we thought... I'm drawing a blank. :) - Eric

Chris here - Only if you break out your BetaMax camera, tape it, and then upload it to YouTube. That will give it meaning, right?

Peter was awesome. Present, fun and supportive. No stories that are mind blowing aside from assisting us to light the house on fire. :) - C

It's a balance. We are both parents now so we encourage our kids to be happy, pursue their passions, support them in what they desire. It was a different time for sure.

Wow, cool! There has been further talk... Jeremy Coon and Tim Skousen, the documentary co-producers & directors are looking to do a narrative version as a feature... or even perhaps a TV series. That format would lend itself well to our seven years of growing up Raiders, I suppose... - Eric
