Please check out the HD, DRM-free digital download from Gumroad. Not only does it come packed with bonus content, but you also will be able to pay whatever you want for the package. It is my way of fundraising for my next film, while still getting the film out there for everyone to see.
If you can not use the Gumroad store due to lack of credit card, please Paypal me at adam.evans727@gmail.com any price you choose and i will send you a link for the download.
Thanks to everyone in the community who helped me and inspired me. I am really excited to see the film get out there.
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to check out the film. It really means the world to me.
Hmmmmm. Not sure how I feel about this documentary. I feel like there was a great initial idea, but the themes were all over the place. It seemed like 33% promoting behind the scenes IPL (which is awesome), 33% ESPORTS growth (generic but still awesome) and then 33% megumixbear (why did she get so much camera time, and I don't know what she was talking about half the time) Cool to see David Ting's perspective and the Floor Manager and stuff, I wish more actual staff was interviewed more heavily, and maybe some players about their thoughts on IPL.
Seeing as how the title was "The Culture of IPL", I feel like this documentary failed to deliver, sadly.
I'm really not sure what they wanted to tell or show me with that documentary. Felt like a bunch of random interviews and scenery shots thrown together.
I wish it could have been out when all the stuff with IPL was going down, however, there were issues with festivals and releasing a film online. All of it is very hard to coordinate.

If only I wasn't so broke atm. Maybe next month I'll be more than happy to support your movie if my budget allows me to. I'm a HUGE eSport documentary/film addict and I love to see all of them. Can't wait!
