Steve Giralt’s The Garage Learning film school raised over $410,000 on Kickstarter in 2020. But now, just under two years later, the business has filed for bankruptcy as the idea “did not work as planned.”

that Garage Learning has not had any employees since September of 2021 and says he hasn’t found a way to “breathe life back into the company” without employees dedicated to it.

In a comment attached to this final update, Giralt included a link to Google drive where backers can download the videos once “The Garage Production Company did not charge The Garage Learning, Inc. a penny for rent for the studio and offices they used, for the cameras and computers they used, and for the editing room they occupied,” Giralt says, which would have increased the company’s costs even further.

“The hope was that it would give enough runway to get the business off the ground where it was generating revenue and could sustain itself,” he says.
