Thinking about making a movie or show? Great! We wanna watch it.  But first, how are you going to fund it, and when you’re finished, who’s going to watch it?

We’ve got answers.

Should I still use crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding rose out of the ashes of the 2007–2008 financial crisis. It’s a testament to the indomitable spirit of creators. It also led audiences out of a very dark time — one great idea at a time. It was revitalizing for so many people’s spirits, and also revitalizing for the creative economy. As people further isolate (and they should! have we said that already?), we are losing essential social connections that keep up the human spirit. But we have virtual tools to continue to tell stories that connect people, and we should use them.

It’s a time to adjust the thinking about your campaign.

Crowdfunding is not just about you raising the money for your work. It is about you offering a unique chance for people to connect (safely!) around things that really matter to them. Many people think about crowdfunding simply as a fundraising tool, but we’re going to show you how it’s so much more than that: it’s a great way to start (or continue) developing a direct connection with your audience, which is essential for building a sustainable film career that leads to distribution and funding more projects.
