Thinking about making an amazing 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? Crowdfunding isn’t just a fundraising tool: it’s an opportunity to develop a direct connection with your audience, which is essential for building a sustainable film career.
In this workshop, you’ll learn:
-
How to find, talk to, and learn from your audience
-
How to pick the perfect crowdfunding goal and incentives
-
What goes into a successful crowdfunding communication strategy
-
How to grow your audience after you rock out your campaign
