I honestly thought it was going to be about how we are all bros in the tf2 community (even if not true)and we came together, differences aside, and raised $20,000 and sent two teams to fuel our nerd fantasies of top euro teams vs top na teams. Instead we got this.
How would we have shot that storyline without major resources allowing us to go and interview people around the country about TF2? We barely had 3 days at the event to film. We were definitely limited by that.

Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy it Cause, but I don't really have much I can say to you. We're interested in hearing feedback and critiques, but it's pointless to argue about how much we "documented" and whether or not that makes us a "documentary" or a series of interviews. Documentary is a genre and that's the best way to classify our film.
Always enjoy talking film theory.
Wait till the "Free to Play" documentary from Valve about TI1. That's a much more proper documentary and the difference between the amount of resources available to eXtv and Valve is very apparent. Was awesome, wish we could have accomplished something closer to that, but it was difficult given our constraints.
