How do I get Canny Valley, the limited edition art book?

Kickstarter has a weird way of handling limited editions (more on this later, for people who care about these details). As a result, I can’t list Canny Valley in any of the reward tiers; instead, you first select any reward, then, at check out, you’ll get a chance to ge Canny Valley as an “add-on.”

Technical explanation for Kickstarter nerds and masochists: Kickstarter allows you to limit the quantities of any tier, and to increase (but not decrease) the that limit. I wanted to include Canny Valley with two tiers (the book on its own, and as part of an “everything” bundle), as well as making it an add-on. However, if it sold out in one of these (e.g. if I listed 33 copies in each tier, and I sold 33 “add-ons” without selling any of the other tiers), I wouldn’t be able to take some copies away from the other tiers to increase the number of add-on copies available.

How do I back the film?

Kickstarter rules don’t let us raise money for just part of the film here (we’re only looking for the $75k we need for principle photography, which will give us the raw materials we need for investors to finish the movie and get it into theaters).

Instead, we’ve set up a Patreon, where you can pre-order tickets for the theatrical run and a DRM-free download code you’ll get when the run finishes:

Shipping Updates
For the most up-to-date information about the status of our project, check our project updates on Kickstarter!

Current Estimated Shipping Date: October 2025

All surveys completed by Sept 25, 2025 will ship by early October. Later surveys will be processed in weekly batches at first, then less frequently as stragglers drop off. Signed orders will only be fulfilled when I'm in town and able to go to the warehouse to sign them, which is erratic. Get those surveys in early!

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.

Terms and Conditions

Hey there! Just to keep you from being confused - all the extra stuff that Backerkit will offer you on these pages is EXTRA! You've already backed my project and you don't need to buy anything else, seriously! This is just in case you forgot to order something when you pledged and you wanna pick something else up.

Thanks!
