Production History
DAVE School, according to WizKids MechWarrior brand manager and film co-producer Kevin Goddard, reached out to WizKids for permission to make a student film based on the property. The team at WizKids was enthusiastic, and the film - and the WizKids-DAVE partnership - was announced on 2 February 2006. MechWarrior writers and staff planned the story, helped write the script, and provided reference models, but the film was first and foremost a student project.
The trailer was released in November 2006, after the students involved had graduated. WizKids staff hoped to get the film polished for use, perhaps at conventions, but this did not come to pass. The film was never completely finished and never officially released. However, in September 2008, shortly before WizKids was shut down, the full student film was unofficially uploaded to YouTube.
Canonicity
Although the film was officially licensed and was made with the involvement of WizKids and official BattleTech writers, the film was never officially released and thus cannot be considered canon.
