We would like to thank our Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers for your patience and for sticking with us over the past year. We know many of you have been waiting for an update on reward fulfillment – especially the Blu-ray discs – and we want to address that directly.

First and most importantly: you will absolutely receive the rewards you pledged for. We sincerely apologize for the delay. We understand how frustrating it can be, and we want to assure you that this is not a case of rewards being forgotten or abandoned. We’re a small team managing a very big project, and the truth is that our focus has been on completing the film and securing distribution opportunities that will help bring The Eagle Obsession to audiences around the world.

The film has continued to evolve even in the last few weeks. Based on valuable feedback from festival screenings, we made final refinements to ensure the version you receive is the strongest possible. We wanted backers to have the best experience – not an earlier cut – and that meant allowing time for these final creative improvements.

We’re currently in Denmark filming additional material for our companion documentary, Beyond the Eagle Obsession, which is scheduled for completion this spring. This second film grew organically out of the story and has been an exciting extension of the project, one we can’t wait to share more about soon.

Meanwhile, The Eagle Obsession has been making an impressive impact on the festival circuit since its run began in October 2025. It has earned multiple international honors, including:

• Audience Award, Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival (Australia)
• Raw Breakthrough Award, Raw Science Film Festival (New York)
• IndieFEST Award of Excellence
• Best Documentary & Best Narration, Outer Rim Science Fiction Film Festival (Baltimore)
• Finalist for the Robert Byrd Best Documentary Award & Bill Cooper Best Minnesota Feature, Twin Cities Film Fest (Minneapolis)
• Official Selection, Documentaries Without Borders International Film Festival
• Semi-finalist, Palermo International Film Festival
• Semi-finalist, London International Filmmakers Festival

Along with two recent screenings in Los Angeles (American Film Market and a Hollywood showing), we’re now preparing for additional international screenings in Denmark (Aarhus & Copenhagen) and London in early December, as well as Modena, Italy in January 2026, as we continue moving toward worldwide distribution.

Your support made all of this possible. You backed a project that is not only real, but thriving. And now that the final cut of the film is complete, fulfillment is our next priority. We will share a detailed rewards timeline as soon as possible so you know exactly what to expect, but the current update is as follows: 

• The Blu-ray is being mastered this week and is being mass-produced soon. 
• The posters are printed and in-hand and the Eagle kits are assembled. They will ship shortly in December. 
• The pre-built Eagles are delayed until January due to personal family health issues among the construction team. 
• The cups and hats are created and sitting in storage awaiting shipping in December.

Thank you again for your patience, trust, and belief in this documentary. We are incredibly proud of what has been created, and we can’t wait to get it into your hands.

— The Eagle Obsession Team
