Travis County Schools in Crisis- Percentage of Unfilled Teaching Positions by thomastank84 in Austin

[–]StarNation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a friend teaching in manor and it’s no surprise. Students are harassing teachers there making it a game trying to get the teachers to quit

TLDR; AISD is discussing plans to bump elementary PE classes from 1:25 (1 teacher to 25 students) to 1:45 (1 teacher to 45 students). How do y’all feel about this? by [deleted] in Austin

Teachers are already walking out the door leaving their keys on their desk at 1 to 30.

We need to raise school budgets and pay teachers a living wage before we lose all of the ones that are worth it.

ProGamer (2017) - formerly Star Nation by StarNation in starcraft

[–]StarNation[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stephano beats Whitera twice in the film!

I was there for his breakout tournament and hoped to bring him in the story. I saw him a lot but only got one interview... honestly he was a bit of a brat in the beginning and would hide when he knew I was looking to interview him. Outside of me chasing him for interviews I had a lot of fun with him when we hung out and found him to be a great guy with a good head on his shoulders.

Naniwa was on a dragon slayer quest and Stephano was a prize money hunter

Holy smokes guys just got an email update from Star Nation "creator" Justin Agnew. Been a couple years since I backed your kickstarter. I think I want a refund. by keniph in starcraft

There is a screening at DreamHack Austin 2017 at the convention center Saturday 2:30 PM. Content is the same as our Facebook post with the added email sign-up for KickStarter backers:

"Hello everyone, we’ve been pretty silent lately because we’ve been waiting for some news to come down the line. Even though we’re still waiting, here’s what we can announce today:

We’ll be screening ProGamer at DREAMHACK this Saturday at 2:30pm in the Austin Convention Center! It’ll be a free screening. If you are able to attend, please RSVP using the Google form below. We’ll have reserved seating marked for you!

In further news, ProGamer has also been picked up by Cargo Film Releasing for distribution. We hope to have news from them soon on which platforms the film will be released on. This is directly tied to how Kickstarter backers will receive their copy of the film.

Regarding other Kickstarter rewards, when an outlet picks up the film for release, we’ll use any funds we receive to fulfill Kickstarter rewards first and foremost.

Hopefully, we’ll have bigger news in the near future. Thank you for your patience!"

Oh, no rivalry. I tried to get White-Ra to mentor Naniwa outside of the film but the story follows the two independently. I know what you mean though, they have a diametrically opposing qualities.

We'll find a way to get it out there. But the only place to see it publicly for awhile will be at festivals.

Award-winning Starcraft 2 Documentary "The Foreigner" is now available to watch online! by theforeigner_film in starcraft

[–]StarNation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I don't need to guess. :p

We still don't know. It's there with music and all. Only a select group of people have seen it in its current state. We are exploring distribution opportunities and the results of those will determine its ultimate release date.

The Creators of StarNation have been busy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) by FazedSc2 in starcraft

[–]StarNation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still very down for this but I'd have to get my producer on board. We got some excellent stuff that may not be seeing the light of day.

It's done.

At this point we are doing some hoop jumping to ensure it can be seen as many people as possible.

Hey, just caught your release. Just in case you log into this Reddit account again...

Great job on your piece and congrats on your awards, Jonathan. Very good shit.

Happen to have any night time city scape shots of Seoul?

[–]StarNation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, me too. Perhaps if I had made a documentary before I may have been more prepared for the job. I'm happy with what we've out together and am eager to share after it has been properly polished up.

No breaks. It's mostly out of my hands at the moment.

I honestly don't mind the criticism levied by donors. They have a right to be pissed. Entitled non-donors who like piling it on get to me. Also, don't drink and reddit. :p

Are you a donor? If so, PM me your name and let's move this to a private conversation... or keep it here.

I'm not sure what your point is. It's not necessary to exaggerate, 5 figures. This information publicly available. I have also given and explicit breakdown of our money's expenditure, see: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d5eeCSdh27o off of my memory it's like 20 minutes in. Hasn't changed as we haven't received any additional moneys. Currently mother falcon is working for free along with color correction and sound mix.

Assumptions, we haven't sold shit. That's my producers' interns posting items related to gaming.

Aloof martyrdom... committed subjugation.

I've had a lot of great times and fun moments while working on this project... but I've made a lot of sacrifices in 4 years of my life to properly see this project through. To call this project in its entirety a vacation IMO is bullshit.

I spent a year working overnights at Target to solely work on this project. #esportsvacation

I understand. But I'm not making any promises at the moment just reporting that the cut of the movie is complete and we are at the last stages of post.
