They 'Done the Impossible'

After many months of work, the folks behind the "Done the Impossible" documentary DVD are days away from shipping. As someone who pre-ordered, I've received an e-mail that the film went to the duplicators the other day and they expect to have them ready for shipping next week sometime.

Fans of the TV series Firefly have produced this film about the effort to coax a rebirth of the story of Malcolm Reynolds and his little band, an effort that amazingly resulted in creation of the feature film Serenity. Regular readers of these musings know they've become my all-time favorite TV show and science-fiction movie. The new film features interviews with creative genius Joss Whedon, at least five cast members, and fans of the series of all kinds, chronicling the improbable journey to Sept. 30, 2005, when the Big Damn Movie debuted.

I heard about the documentary through a series of features on the podcast "The Signal" and pre-ordered as a show of faith in the entrepreneurs who were assembling it. I wasn't sure I'd ever see the DVD, and I'm tickled they've "done the impossible" and finally pulled it off. More info is here.
