Sequels

Richard Kraft and his son Nicky have expressed interest in making two sequels to "Finding Kraftland". In an interview, Nicky joked, " [...] the second one will be called "Selling Kraftland".

When asked if sequels to "Finding Kraftland" were seriously being considered, Richard responded, "Oh, absolutely! You can’t have lived this and then go, 'Well, that was the end of it!'"cite web | last=Armstrong | first=Josh E | publisher=Armstrong Interviews | title= Touring "Kraftland" |url=http://armstronginterviews.com/2008/touring-kraftland/ | accessdate=2008-04-07]
