Hi Phil, Thanks so much for those suggestions. I've already looked into them, and indeed found some useful information.
Cheers, Matt From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Philip Hallman Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2013 2:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Videolib] Question about financing films through crowd funding Hello Matt, We have had some students and faculty use Kickstarter.com and indiegogo.com<http://indiegogo.com> as 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.
