Can anyone point me to a link so I can find out what this film was about and what its goals were?
If vapers are still interested in getting a film made that puts vaping in the positive light it deserves, that's something my company, Survivor Films might be interested in. We're based in the UK though so I'd need to work with a producer (one of you guys?) in the US in order to organize it properly and make sure we get to speak to the right people.
Ideally I'd like to see something that:
Explains what vaping is, it's origins and the differences being smoking and vaping (including health benefits as we know them)
Refutes some of the old, bogus studies and promotes the work of CASAA, Drexel, and Dr. K
Looks at the vaping community and businesses
Tells some personal stories of how vaping has changed people's lives
Shows what the opposition is (BT/BP/Govt taxation) without jumping to conclusions allowing the viewer to make their own mind up.

Well alrighty then. Let's throw this up in the wayback machine and see what we get.
We Are Vapers | An Exploration into the World of Harm Reduction | We Are Vapers Click!
Ok, the last capture of the web site when it was still active was late January 2014. It sez:
At this pace I think a 2017 release date is not out of the question.
So, what happened? Probably the more telling update - from nearly a year ago at this point - is on the indie funding site. And that would be here: We Are Vapers | Indiegogo Click!
Okeh...
If you read the rest of that comment at the site - I wasn't about to quote the whole damned thing here - his theoretical time line was 12 months to edit after final shooting was done. Final shooting wasn't completed until... oh wait - according to the January 25th 2014 update he's not done filming.
Is the vintage footage going to be obsolete and irrelevant by the time it hits editing? Janty stick anyone?
Did that manage to make DC feel any nicer? Probably not.

Yes, that's the guy.
He also holds the following positions in AEMSA...
--Board Secretary
--Chair of Compliance Committee
That is why I find it hard to imagine him just blowing off the whole We Are Vapers thing.
But it is equally hard for me to imagine the We Are Vapers website disappearing.
And that certainly appears to be the case.
Maybe everyone hopes it will just fade away.
Nice con actually. Shill for thousands of $$$, "film", then tell folks, it will take a year to edit, by that time most will have completely forgotten about it, those that still remember, you just say "uh still editing".
What a joke. To me, this makes AEMSA a joke, as well as any vendor touting that garbage. How much more money is this guy gonna steal from other vapers?

I hear you.
This guy has subsequently become a part of Vape Team.
And then become a part of AEMSA.
I still want my DVD, no matter how much activism he involves himself with.
In fact, I really hoped the documentary would come out LONG before the FDA regulation proposal.
We are WAY past that now though.
I was thinking about this the other day. I was just a small donator, but never the less, it's BS this guy just fades into history with thousands of dollars, and it's pretty insulting to everyone involved if he's actually still a part of the community.
The thing that annoys me the most is the connection with AEMSA...we're supposed to trust the AEMSA seal of approval, and the fees that lead to it, when one of their board members hasn't followed through with obligations that he was paid to do?

He owes us all an explanation, especially those of us who contributed money, as I did.
I contributed as well.
Yep, we are vapers. often hopefull, frequently trusting.
The same update was on the FB page. The proposed regulations have been released, and i think there is plenty of tension now, but no further updates.

Maybe it's just as well. Things are different now, vapers are different, some things good, some not so much. The film may have been 50 year old nostalgia by the time the pixels were dry. I'd still like to see it and get all teary eyed though.
no offense but do ppl actually want to see this? wearevapers a.k.a. pbusardo's youtube channel
unless done as a documentary with struggles in the govt and videos of govt talking about it and what not, then i don't think i'm interested in watching ppl vape or talking about
sucks that ppl put up money and got nothing from it
