Rooster Teeth’s Matt Hullum on the Indiegogo-busting Lazer Team

• “A feature was always going to be the next thing to do, but we didn’t have the time or resources to focus on it.”
• “We really needed somebody driving us to do it, and that was the backers. We got up every day knowing they were expecting us to make this movie and make it great.”
• The company now sits at about 150 employees. 
• “We’re a diverse business.” Home video and merchandising are “gigantic pieces”. YouTube is a “fantastic partner” but roosterteeth.com and the company’s apps as its “bread and butter.”
• Rooster Teeth is in development on two more features, and is looking to follow the Netflix mini-studio model.
• “This year we’ll be rolling out three new premium series”. They will be two half-hour comedies and one hour-length drama – Day Five.
