PXL 2000 Film Update, from Michael Koshkin

I received the following note from Michael Koshkin, of Hot Whiskey Press:

Dear Friends and Family,



As many of you know, I’ve been working on a documentary called PIXEL VISIONS about the PXL 2000 for close to a year now. The project has grown in ways we never thought it would, earning the attention and support of many notable filmmakers and bands along the way. As of this point, not one of us has been paid to work on the project and I seriously appreciate everyone’s dedication to the vision. The progress we have made on the film would have never been possible if it weren’t for the support of my talented friends.



I am calling on you guys now because we are reaching the finish line. Most of the film has been shot, but we need to make one final trip to complete filming. In addition, we will need to pay an editor and sound designer as a solid month of full-time work is just too much to ask from anyone without compensation.



I have created a Kickstarter page for the project (link below) to help raise funds for completing the film. If you aren’t familiar with Kickstarter, the way it works is we have a set amount of money we are trying to raise and a deadline (November 21) to raise it by. People put up bids in exchange for rewards. In exchange for your donation you will receive things like free tickets to screenings, t-shirts, posters, dvds and even a pixelvision film made on any subject you like. If we make the goal, then all payments will be deducted at the time the Kickstarter project ends, November 21. If we don’t make the goal then we receive nothing and nothing is charged to your credit card.



If you would like to read more about the film and/or make a donation, please visit our site here:

I have also created a Facebook page for the film so please “Like” it if you are interested in updates about the project:

I sincerely appreciate all of your support and would be happy to tell you more about the project if you are interested. Just drop me a line!



Best Regards,



Michael Koshkin
