Hello Matt, We have had some students and faculty use Kickstarter.com and indiegogo.comas a way to try and generate some funding for their film projects.
If you have not already, you might want to check out these sites and read their blogs or see if there is information on the sites themselves. You might also do a quick search using Lexis Nexis to see what the media has reported on these sites. I quickly searched kickstarter and film and got nearly 500 hits. Not all of them were relevant.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
