Why did it take so long to make? Wasn't it shot in 2003?

That's a long story. Briefly...

The crew went for a week in the desert.

The producer went separately, but never found them.

The crew had a meltdown and scattered. The footage and most of the equipment was eventually retrieved (out of hock). Used editing equipment was purchased off of craigslist in 2004. Editors were interviewed. None wanted the job. By 2005 the job fell to the producers using a book for dummies on how to operate the software.

Cataloging the footage and researching the content took until 2006 and then the trailer was cut first.

Using that as a template the film footage was then cut down to 15 hours, then 9, then 6, then 4, then 3, then 2.5, and 2.

The editor/producer, having not attended Burning Man the first time around went in 2007 looking for the director. No luck. But it was still pretty cool.

Then began the rounds of editing and showing it to friends and taking notes and editing again. The used computer blew a fan, funds for a cheaper computer were donated, the monitor blew out, a monitor was borrowed. The software no longer worked, funds for new software were scraped together. More rounds of editing and showing including one lengthy round of hand-drawing much of the fonts and maps.

More showing it to friends and redoing until it seemed to please both Burners and Non-Burners alike.

And then it had to pass muster with Burning Man itself.

More rounds of that.

And then the tentative okay and a week later the San Diego Film festival called, having seen the trailer, loving Burning Man movies and having an open slot.

So there's that.
