Ebook on how to run a successful Kickstarter campaign!

[jancivil]

I know a woman that did a successful Kickstarter to get a film she wrote off the ground. However it was not very different than what you do anyway, she worked her ass off, went to festivals, had done extensive travel beforehand, showed the script to people and used all of this as testimonials for the process of raising these funds. STILL it looked pretty bleak right up to the last day and the majority of the money came in at the last minute. And this was miniscule funding in terms of film, even shot direct to disk. She doesn't have so much of a salesperson aspect, she just pushed and pushed. It wasn't about a 'base of fans' or being well-known though.

My friend and musical partner-in-crime from back in the day was the music director for another film that got basic production funds this way, money for the film stock and printing, a real shoestring budget, but there was a kind of known band aspect to that and a lot of friends and social contact there. That film got made, and I doubt it would have otherwise.
