Update on _The Death of Doctor Island_

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Has anyone heard anything recently about the film project?

I read on http://www.doctorisland.com/secure/about/about2.htm that

"Doctor Island  was shot on 35mm film, on location in Costa Rica and
Los Angeles. The edit for each of the seven vignettes has been locked.
Sound design is nearly complete. The first vignette is scheduled for
completion in early 2008. Five years in the making thus far, the final
result will be an integrated, yet disturbing world through which one
may explore, but from which one cannot escape."

Early 2008 will soon be a full year ago. Is the project dead?
