In April 2014, The Remainder Is Productions, launched a Kickstarter Project which stated: "The goal is to bring Tomata's untold story to life. We've already begun shooting footage of the cast of characters essential to Tomata's story. As the research continues, we've realized what a challenging road lies ahead. This project will be one part detective case and one part treasure hunt. We will most likely need to travel to the various cities where Tomata left his artistic footprint, seek out the players, and find the stories. The people we have met with so far have been generous of time and heart. The interactions have felt somewhat symbiotic in our mutual desire to commemorate his spirit and legacy."
