Brief Introduction

A 4 week pilot case study on crowdfunding using kickstarter

Description

I am a filmmaker who has been using crowdfunding for years and have always hit my goal or target, whether it's on kickstarter, indiegogo, crowdfunder, crowdrooster, Hubbub, Buzzbnk, Seedrs and many more. This time, my team and I successfully raised £8700 through this crowdfunding campaign.

Crowdfunding has become the go-to method to raise funds for short films, short web series, TV pilots and independent feature films (sometimes even commercial films). It's using crowdfunding platforms to source funds from other users. This course is made by a filmmaker, for filmmakers, describing first and foremost how raising finance for your films through crowdsourcing platforms can be beneficial financially, but also how it can work towards fortifying your brand.

Most importantly, this is a live 4 week case study. That means, from the moment I launched the campaign ---> to the moment the campaign ended, I recorded weekly insights about the campaign as it was happening. This includes:

How to set up and launch a kickstarter campaign
Ideas for perks and what is convenient
How to set up a crowdfunding strategy and get a team involved
How much you should raise and what is a reasonable amount
How to use social media and other methods to promote the project
How to push the project along to ensure you reach your goal
Any pitfalls to look out for
Where to set up mailers to contact your mailing lists
How to bring about a strong finish

Do you want a crowdfunded film? This course is for you. I share all my tips, tricks and insights to give you the best possible chance.
