Although neither Blomkamp nor Oats Studio revealed how much money they raised through the crowdfunding effort, it apparently wasn’t enough to turn Blomkamp’s Vietnam-era short into a full-length feature.
More bad news from the world of Neill Blomkamp: The South African-born filmmaker has called it quits on his latest effort, a crowdfunding campaign to turn his Oats Studios short “Firebase” into a feature-length film.
The Oats Studios shorts are reminiscent of Channel Zero, Syfy’s horror serial based on Creepypasta stories from Reddit.
In a tweet addressed to contributors late this morning, the studio explained that they “would rather over deliver than create an average film.”
