Hello, Reddit! This is David (/u/dedalvs) typing, and I'm here with Marc (/u/okrandm), Paul (/u/KaryuPawl), and Christine (/u/linganthprof) who are executive producers of the forthcoming documentary Conlanging: The Art of Crafting Tongues by Britton Watkins (/u/salondebu) and Josh Feldman (/u/sennition). Conlanging is set to be the first feature length documentary on language creation and language creators, whether they do it for big budget films, or for the sheer joy of it. We've got a crowd funding project running on Indiegogo, and it ends tomorrow! In the meantime, we're here to answer any questions you have about language creation, our documentary, or any of the projects we've worked on (various iterations of Star Trek, Avatar, Man of Steel, Game of Thrones, Defiance, The 100, Dominion, Penny Dreadful, Star-Crossed, Thor: The Dark World, Warcraft, The Shannara Chronicles, Emerald City, and Senn). We'll be back at 11 a.m. PDT / 2 p.m. EDT to answer questions. Fire away!
